Can Somebody Help? Who Are Jonas?

Munchkin.Confused

Can anybody tell us Who Jonas Are?  Have we missed out on anything good?  Somehow the last 10 years of Belize has acted as a time warp and we have no knowledge of current trends and popular fads.  We have no idea.. are these guys old or new?  Are they a Christian Pop Band?  We  have ended up with hundreds of Jonas Gift Bags and this is how it happened…

Just last week, our old missionary friend phoned me up and asked if I had ordered gift bags to be sent to his States address.  I recalled that a long time ago (2 years to be exact) I had ordered some golden organza bags via Amazon, from China, to be sent to his address.  They never appeared and so I had given them up for being lost in the post somewhere out there!  So, when he mentioned Gift Bags, I immediately thought that they had at long last arrived.  When our friend came to deliver the stuff he literally chucked a huge bin bag liner over the gate, a few token papayas and scurried quick smart back into his truck.  He made a hurried excuse about needing a hair-cut, pushed the gas pedal down and was gone before I could even utter a word of thanks.

I opened up the bag and this is what I got.  Hundreds of these in all shapes and sizes.

I have the sneaky suspicion that my missionary friend has happily off-loaded these bags onto me regardless of whether I have true ownership.  I think they probably came from some church bazaar along with woolly jumpers and coffee mugs.  Anyway, since I continue to receive gifts under the auspices of Jesus, I would like to extend this gesture by giving away a free Jonas bag with every International order from our website.  Yay!!  Start Shopping!!

This one is for Jesus.  As doctors, we come across all manner of interesting folk.  We have a patient who is an elderly missionary gentleman whom we have known for years.  Throughout this time, we have enjoyed him as quite a character and he continues to bring humour and gestures of thanks into our lives.  The other day, he stopped by and gave us two packs of bouillon cubes (and a sack of oranges).

He instructed me that I could make the best tasting rice in the world by combining a beef and a chicken cube together.  Furthermore, he was giving me 240 cubes in total which equated to 120 days of great tasting rice!  Oh, and of course,

Praise the Lord!  Jesus loves you!”

So, now when I start to cook dinner, I ask Gnome:

“Darling, do you want the Jesus Bouillon Cubes or Miso tonight?”

And Gnome replies,

“Jesus Cubes tonight, babes!”

The genuine warmth and gesture behind the gifts are much appreciated.
