chocolate Jesus

Artist Cosimo Cavallaro is best known for his quirky work with food. Past efforts include repainting a Manhattan hotel room in melted mozzarella, spraying five tons of pepper jack cheese on a Wyoming home and festooning a four-poster bed with 312 pounds of processed ham".

-Because my car needs an oil change.

-Why does every student wear jeans?
-Because your mother said so.

-Why are you gay?
-Because we couldn't afford to take you to Disney Land.

-Why is my ship sinking?
-Becuase it felt so cold in the rooms.

-Why don't you like coffee?
-Because the dog could smell cookies baking.

-Why do we have 10 fingers?
-Because I like you.
