Holy Hustle snippet #6

[wadori]

There were shepherds not far away watching their flocks at night, when suddenly god's glory shone all around them.  They were scared shitless, but an angel said, "Don’t be afraid.  I come with some nice juicy gossip.  Today in the city of David a child has been born.  We are going to create a big hoax and convince lots of naïve people that he is some kind of messiah, and we are letting you in on the gag at the beginning.  Go check it out.  It's a gas!"  Then a whole host of angels appeared and said, "Glory to our Mr. God.  He sure knows how to pull a great gag!"

When the angels left the shepherds said, "Wow!  Let's go check this out.  We could use a good laugh!"

So they hurried off and found Mary, Joseph and the baby.  After seeing him they hurried off and spread the word about this gag.  Then the shepherds returned laughing from the pits of their bellies at the gullibility of the people.  And don't believe that Matthew who tries to say that Mary and Joseph had a house in Bethlehem.  Their house was in Nazareth, I tell you.  Jesus was in a manger in a crappy old barn!
