Strangest Thing Overheard in Orlando

(I swear I'm not making this up.)

Setting: a new-agey jewelry/instrument/art store where Gavin and me were browsing around for some cool gifts

Woman to guy at counter: "Do you guys sell skulls?"

Guy at counter: "No... (pause)... we DO have some shrunken heads over there, but no skulls."

Is it just me, or is that just a little bit outside the norm?

What's so out of the norm about shrunken heads?

This is in reference to the topic "the Executive Center of Your Life" In John 14:20 it states "...you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you" regarding the holy spirit and as mentioned in the sermon, spirit is synonymous with the heart. This verse made so much sense to me after last Sunday.

I kind of think you either made this up or dreamed it last night since you're blogging it now and you didn't post a picture of it along with the alligators that almost ate you while you were kayaking. If you're telling the truth, though, and you do think this is out of the norm, don't ever look in the botton left drawer of my desk at the office... just saying.

seriously, how is it that you did not immediately ask the guy at the counter if you could take a look at the shrunken heads ... and take a picture for us to see?

Did you know...?
The real shrunken heads where started in the jungles of South America. They are made by taking a skull-usually a human's-and cleaning everything off (eyes, hair, and skin). After it is cleaned and dried, they fill it with very hot sand. Somehow the sand reacts with the bone and makes it shrunk. Then they sow on the eyes, hair, and skin. Now it is an official shrunken skull.

P.S. I did not obtain this information from experience, someone else did.
