The Jesus-Zombie Convergence

(LR goes sprinting past with RJ chasing just behind her…)

LR: I’m Jesus, and I’m going to help everyone with my powers!

RJ: I’m the Romans, and I’m going to hunt you down and kill you! MWAAA HAA HAA!

LR: (distant) But then I’ll just come back from the dead and get you! HA HA!

Try trepanation, bloodletting for good humor

RJ: You know, you can’t actually get history doctors anywhere. They just don’t exist!

Dad: What do you mean by history doctors?

RJ: Doctors that fix people the way they used to, from history.

Dad: Well, I guess not… It’s because we can usually do better using modern methods.

RJ: And also… because those guys are all dead.

RJ: You walk into a shop and are like,
“Hey Buddy, any Romans for sale?”
“No, Sorry… Because they’re all dead.

We’ll save the stories of bloody Welsh rebellion for bedtime, shall we?

(while eating dinner)

RJ & LR: (singing) Boudi-ca! Toughest By Far!

RJ: (singing with British accent) Its bad enough being beaten, but beaten by a girl?

RJ & LR: (singing loudly) Boudi-ca! Super-star!

Mum: Kids! Quiet! No Boudica at the dinner table!!!

So… What have the Romans ever done for us?

(while eating dinner)

RJ: I’d like to thank somebody tonight. I’d like to thank the Romans… for inventing toilets.

RJ: THANK YOU ROMANS!

(LR, Mum and Dad): Thank you Romans!

Dad: They invented plumbing and running water in houses too.

… a few moments later …

RJ: I’d like to thank somebody tonight. I’d like to thank the Romans again… for inventing running water!

RJ: THANK YOU ROMANS!

LR, Mum and Dad: (groaning) Thank you Romans!

… a few minutes later …

RJ: I’d like to thank somebody else tonight. I’d like to thank the Egyptians! For inventing paper!

(LR, Mum and Dad): ARRGGGHH!!
