Posted in: Dubious Photojournalism

The Sacred Sandwich’s managing editor Durwood Cumbey (left) and beat reporter Horace Pook (right), are hard at work in our high-tech newsroom bringing you the most up-to-date coverage on the postmodern theological front. Since losing our star journalist, Ed Biggs, in a freak typewriter accident, Durwood and Horace are intimately aware of the daily perils they face in faithfully monitoring the latest issues in Christian thought. 

Seen here waiting for Durwood’s wife to bring them a homemade lunch, the boys face another job-related danger: Mrs. Cumbey’s leftover meatloaf.

    Nothing like state-of-the-art equipment to bring the sheep the much needed information to warn us against the dangers of post modern “Christianity!

    We appreciate the time put into the work…as well as the cast iron digestive system to endure the leftover meatloaf….

    If only I could gain access to the safe in the back, who knows what theological treasures I might find!!

    “If only I could gain access to the safe in the back, who knows what theological treasures I might find!!”

    Well, for starters, a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.

    And maybe a bottle of “Reformation”, to freshen up for those summer meetings?

    Ooh, fatal typewriter accident. I know how it happens, the victim is typing so swiftly as he pours out his soul in words that he crosses the keys, so he innocently leans over to uncross them, gets his necktie caught in the platen then *CRICK* breaks his neck the next time when he passionately hits the manual return. Cooler minds prevail, and survive!

    Of course, no one under the age of 35 can understand a thing I just typed, never having actually seen a manual typewriter, much less used one.

    “Freak typewriters accident”….HA! Manual typewriters…even some of the “primitive” early electric ones gave me shivers in high school typing class….

    I could see the reasoning for the “no tie” rule….
