Hillbilly Jesus

I owned a country gift store in my past life. When we first started out, I worked the cash register and played "store" everday. It was Christmastime as I had two obviously country ladies stop in. They had heavey southern accents. As I listen to their conversation I realized they weren't the sharpest tools in the shed. I did the tourist thing and asked where they were from. I wasn't suprised when the quickly said southern Arkansas. My sterotype was quickly proven as one woman picks up a box of holiday cards adorned with a Victorian period Santa Claus and as she looks at the cards says, " Hey, look at these cards with Jesus on em!" the other quickly stated, " That ain't Jesus you dumb Shit, that's Santa Claus." I have often wondered if that sentence had ever been used before.
