Now, as you sit there in front of your open log
fire, sipping on your sherry and nibbling on your puff pastries,
i bet i
know what you're thinking. It is, after all, something we all think
about at this time of year, every man, woman
and child. And sometimes it makes us happy. And other times it
makes us reflective and sad. And sometimes
we
just have trouble
getting our
heads around the enormity and meaning of it all.
So, you might ask, what is this
thing that i know you'll all be thinking about?
Well it is, of course, that age old question - why on earth are
there four horsemen of the Apocolypse?
Why four? Why not seven? Or three?
Well the answer is really quite simple.
There are four horsemen of the Apocolypse because they are the evil
antithesis of the four Wise Kings who attended the birth of Mr Jesus
Christ.
Okay, okay, i know what you're now thinking.
You're thinking to yourselves "hold up just a cotton-picking
minute,
i'm not that up on my religious
scriptures and all that, but i'm pretty darned sure there
were only three kings
present when the
virgin Mary dropped."
And you're right.
Except that you're not.
It is, as you say, commonly believed that there were only the three
kings - Arnie, Barney and Charlie,
to give them they're names. However,
this is a complete fib. There was a fourth who was written out of
biblical history for reasons best known only to the highest leaders
of the Christian faith. Fortunately for
you all though, i know this
geezer who works down the market whose mate used to go to school
with this
other bloke whose sister briefly
went out with a guy who later became one of the big knobs in the Vatican, and
he revealed exclusively to me the real truth concerning the events of
the 1st January 0000 (J.C's proper birth date).
So ladies and gentlemen
sit back, relax and enjoy as i now reveal to you all The
Legend of King Reg
