JOSE JESUS AND MARIA

 

The Nativity by Nicolas Poussin

This is a story about three illegal Mexican squirrels…Jose, Jesus and Maria.
A man is driving.A hidden microphone recorded their words as they made their way into the United States.


Jose:
Jesus and Maria, it sure is getting stuffy inside these coat pockets.

Maria:
Si.

Jesus:
Si.

Jose:
I wonder where we are going?

Maria:
Maybe Disneyland?

Jesus:
Maybe the Holy Land…Or the place that’s called the Big Apple.

Jose:
Don't mention food. I'm starving!

Maria:
Yes, me too.

Jesus:
If I had a fish and some bread I’d make enough for all of us.

Jose:
Oh, come on Jesus, don't play that game again.

Maria:
Right. You aren't the messiah you think you are. You’re just another rodent.

Jesus:
O.K. I know I've got some hang ups, but getting hanged isn't one of them.

Jose:
Oh, now he's the comedian.

Maria:
Hey, be quiet. I hear something.

Jose:
Me too!

Jesus:
I think we're at the border crossing. Quick! Deeper into the pockets!

Immigration Official:
Hello, sir. Your nationality?

Jesus:
Mexican.

Immigration Official:
Anything to declare?

Driver:
Yes. I have three striped squirrels.

Immigration Official:
What is the purpose of their visit?

Driver:
Jose and Maria are going to Disneyland.
Jesus wants to visit the Holy Land and your Big Apple.

Immigration Official:
My Big Apple? Oh, you mean New York.

Man:
Si.

Immigration Official:
O.K. Welcome to the United States.

Jose, Jesus and Maria:
Gee, that was a breeze. How did you do it?

Man:
You forget.
Jesus is with us.
