Clearly, you're not paying attention to where you are, Sir...

The priest assembles the children on the bench in front of the altar. "Before you receive your First Communion," he begins, "You must tell me where you can find Jesus." The answers, tentative at first, start pouring in. "Jesus is in your heart." "You can find Jesus in the bible." "Jesus is there when you help other people." The priest nods, a happy smile on his lips. B's hand pumps the air and it is finally his turn. In a stage whisper (the priest is partly deaf), B says, "Um, Jesus is right behind you. Hanging on the cross."
