Bishop: 'Easter about Jesus, not jelly wrestling'

The Bishop of Canterbury has expressed a firm preference for his flock to commemorate the crucifixion and ressurection of Jesus this Easter, rather than, say, attending a semi-nude jelly wrestling event at the Wheatsheaf Tavern on Banks Peninsula. The publican, Donna Blackburn, who has a well-judged eye for the criteria for both quotability and publicity, 'admits it is possible items of clothing could fall off'.

But, disaster! Due to public outcry the jelly wrestling is being moved from Easter Sunday to Easter Monday. Er, how exactly is that less inappropriate? Damn, I wish I'd paid attention in religious study class in primary school now.

[Seems like the new proprietor of the Wheatsheaf is keen to drum up extra business. The last proprietor was one of the publicans prosecuted for flouting the new smokefree law]
