GIANT HAND RESCUES LITTLE BOY FROM TRAFFIC
As his mother looked on in amazement, little George "Georgie" Geftakys
was lifted from harms way
Wednesday by a Giant Hand which appeared literally out of nowhere. "I
couldn't believe it" said Georgie's Mom, "I had just given little
Georgie his daily foot massage, when I noticed some of my money was
missing.
"I went to the window to ask him if he'd taken it, when I saw him
wandering in the lanes of traffic. He was walking like he thought he was
invincible or something--he always likes to dress up and pretend he's
the Apostle Paul you know" she added. "I started to scream, when I saw
this Giant Hand coming down out of the sky and pick him up and put him
on the sidewalk. It was a miracle!!!" she cried.
Georgie's Uncle Fritz
confirmed the story. "I had just gotten back from a trip to Mexico, when
Frieda (Georgie's mom) and I decided to try some of the mushrooms I'd
gathered there. It must have been about 15 minutes later when I heard
Frieda scream and I joined her at the window. Sure as day I saw that
Giant Hand too--it was manicured and must have been about 15 feet long.
I also saw a giant frog that...."
Frieda interrupted him at this point
and spoke of how grateful she was that little Georgie was alive and so
well cared for. "He's a little saint" she said. "How could I ever have
suspected him of stealing my money?" she asked incredulously. "Surely
the gods are watching out for my little Georgie" she said. "If you'd
like to make a donation to show your appreciation for Georgie's
miraculous experience you can place the money in the wooden chest by the
front door with the slot in the top."
No one other than Fritz
and Frieda saw the Giant Hand, but the neighbors claim that they
believe, and come to listen to Georgie daily as he recites verses from
the Bible while dressed in a cloak and sandals. Little Georgie refused
to comment, but appears grateful just the same.
-----------------------
I personally believe that George is a victim of WHD which afflicts most people later in life, but can begin in childhood
due to some traumatic or awe-inspiring experience.
WHD (Willful Heretic Disorder) may have afflicted George after he
wandered into traffic as a young child and was rescued by a Giant Hand.
A deep feeling of superiority may have overtaken little George (through
no fault of his own), and he fell into a form of psychosis which
disabled him greatly. Feeling he was an "Apostle" or some other great
Luminary, he felt led to gather others around him, that he might
dominate them and use them through his false presentation of real
teachings.
But as psychology teaches, none of us is really responsible for his own
actions--all of our problems, failings and negative actions towards
others are a result of something that happened in our childhood, and
because of our parents. George's heresy, alas, is not something he is
responsible for--it was his childhood, his Mom, the Giant Hand, that
caused it all. Let's all cut George a break and hope he can get the
counseling he so desperately needs---the poor guy.

FRINGE GROUP MEMBERS FLEE FROM GIANT HAND
Residents of Wilby Ave. in Riverside were startled by the sounds of
screaming and pandemonium on Tuesday, as a small religious "fringe"
group Bible study ended abruptly
with an exodus of rabid fear from their meeting place on this normally
quiet and peaceful street.
Shirley Tripp, a last-minute attendee to the meeting, and an eyewitness,
gave us this account:
"We had finished a small meal of Mole' chicken with mushrooms and gravy that George's Uncle Fritz had prepared for us," said Shirley. (George Geftakys is the aged leader of this religious fringe group.) "It was a recipe from Mexico. I didn't have time to eat any but I hear it was awfully good. And then Fritz got up and began to talk about George. He mentioned George's childhood and amazing rescue from traffic when he was very small."
"Then Fritz introduced George and said, 'Let's all give George a great big hand'. As the applauding began George began to look distressed. Then he looked up and screamed, 'A great big hand?? No!! No!! Please, go away!! Please don't put me back into the traffic!!' He jumped up and made his way towards the door shouting, 'I'll pay it back, I'll pay it all back, I promise!!' Then he grabbed the treasury box and jumped into his car and sped off. Then everyone else started screaming too, and started running down the street," she commented.
Shirley stated that she had not seen the Giant Hand personally. "I never saw it" she said, "But Uncle Fritz did for sure. He said it was about fifteen feet long, manicured, and holding a paddle," she added. When questioned further she stated, "He said it looked like one of those paddles the Vice Principal used to use to give bad boys a swat".
Since the occurrence no one has seen Brother George or his fearful followers. "He's hiding" says Shirley, "But that Giant Hand is still out there looking for him". The neighbors of Wilby St. can now rest a bit easier, but the mystery of the Giant Hand continues.
