And giving the Virgin Mary on toast a run for her money is.......

Allah on a Fish


An aquatic retailer from Lancashire has sold an Oscar to an Asian customer who claims the fish has the mark of Allah on its flanks.

Tony Walker, the owner of Walker Aquatics in Rossendale, Lancashire, told the Manchester Evening News that a customer came into the shop and pointed out that the fish's pattern showed the Arabic symbol for Allah on one flank and the word Mohammed on the other.

The unnamed man bought the Oscar for a tenner, then bought an aquarium for it for £700.

Walker says he'll honour the man's offer to buy the fish, but told the paper that the fish is probably worth thousands.

Maybe the guy who bought the BVM toast will buy it then make an ecumenical fish sammich.

"I met the LAWD once....In Dee-Troit city...Nine-teen Thutty Two, I was eatin' a Tuna Fish sammich...An' I heard this VOICE...And it was a HOLY voice, resonant, round, deep.......Holy..... An' the Voice said "Gimme bite a' that sammich!"... and I said 'Hell, No! YOU GAWD, You make Your OWN sammich!'..."-The Late, Great Richard Pryor
