GOD Found in PA Eggplant

Usually when a messiah’s name is found in an eggplant or aubergine, it’s the name Allah, in Arabic script. This Pennsylvania couple just found the word GOD in their eggplant. A good omen for theists everywhere! But don’t look too closely or you might start to see the non words GID, GIP or GIE.

‘GOD’ spelled by eggplant in Boothwyn

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Even through an eggplant, perhaps.

Yesterday, Felicia Teske of Boothwyn was slicing a pear-shaped purple veggie purchased at a local produce stand when she noticed the seeds formed a word:

GOD.

“It’s definitely there,” said her husband, Paul.

Unlike other claims, you don’t have to strain your brain this time, he said.

(You may have heard, for example, about the Jesus in a chihuahua’s ear or the Virgin Mary in the grease stain of a pizza pan.)

“There’s no imagination here,” he said. “We haven’t altered this at all.”

So, is it a sign?

“Well, that’s quite an interesting question,” he said. His wife, an office manager for an insurance broker, is switching jobs, so maybe it’s a sign that she’s making right decision.

She is a practicing Catholic, he said.

Offhand, the discovery does seem quite a fluke.

“If she would have cut it one way or the other, it may not have spelled that out,” he said.

Or, if just a fraction different, it might have spelled “GOP.”

Then it might have been an omen Karl Rove was about to quit.

“I’m not sure If there is a message here but God made the eggplant, He formed the seeds and He guided my wife to cut the eggplant where His name would appear,” he emailed along with a couple of pictures.

For now, the Teskes are keeping the heaven-sent slice safely stored, while they ponder the meaning … and whether to sell the sucker on eBay.
