Okay, so I've heard a people cry out "Jesus H. Christ" in exasperation a few times.

When I thought about this, though, I realized that I never really knew Jesus had a middle name.

I mean, if I recall correctly, ancient historians aren't even sure if "Jesus" was his real name. So what would the "H." stand for?

Herod.

Seriously, though, his name was something along the lines of Yeshua ben Yosef.

"Christ" isn't even a surname, either; it's just a Greek title meaning "anointed one".

the "H" stands for "Holy".

Jesus' real name was either Yeshua or Ieshua ben Josef, it's generally thought.

I once asked that question to a friend who was carrying a stack of books. His finger slipped and one of the thicker books dropped on his foot. He said:

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"

I honestly thought that his middle name was Fucking for a while.

That would imply he's with a woman.

You'd have a better chance of asking Jesus in the next five minutes for his full name than seeing Juan with a woman.

For the last time Juan, drawing lips on your hand and talking in a feminine voice while moving your fingers doesn't make you a couple with your hand, it makes you Jeff Dunham.

When people talked about JFK, I always assumed they were talking about Jesus Fucking Krist. And then I grew up, learned how to spell, and read history books.

Heh. For some reason this makes me think of how I've recently been abbreviating Jesus Fucking Christ to JFC.

Somehow you know that the time is right.
