Frame 1: The sailor has a problem. There is a hole in his sock, or perhaps a growth on his foot. He is delighted to finally meet the priest, who has a reputation for having a connection to a very powerful god. The sailor dances with joy while he asks the priest for help.
Frame 2: The priest produces a birthday cake with a single candle. The sailor would need many more candles, if it was his birthday, and it isn't. He says as much.
The priest explains that although it's one cake, with one candle, it has three Divine Layers. The sailor confesses stupidity. The priest tells him that's ok, because this is a Mystery of the Holy Church.
Then the priest says "Take this cake and eat of it, for this is God's Gall Bladder." which doesn't make any sense at all to the poor sailor, but he eats the cake, candle and all. The cake is pretty good, but the frosting is a bit too sweet, giving him a toothache. He admits that the foot thing seems less important now that he has the dental pain, but still feels let down somehow.
Frame 3: The sailor turns away, sad that he now needs a dentist and a sock. But behold! A miracle has happened! The holy sock, (or growth) is now on the other foot! The priest looks to the sky, and winks at the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Not shown.) The priest is out of cake, and goes off to prepare a dribble glass for the next seeker.
So it is written. (now) Tom
