Passenger: So… is your name actually Christ? Is it short for Christopher or Christian or something?

Driver: I'll be honest. I'm an Ecuadorian named Jesus. I just don't want ICE to kidnap me

    There’s a rugby player called Christ - commentators call him a sound more like Chris and then add a t at the end… “Chrissed” as an approximation.

    Bassist for Nirvana's name was Krist, pronounced the same way, basically how I assume the driver's name in the OP was pronounced too.

    TIL: There is no such person as Chris Novacelic (sp?) - I’ve always misheard his name.

    Please don’t tell me it was Kirk Cobain…

  • I live in the Twin Cities Minnesota and my work has me dealing with a lot of people doing this kind of gig work. A lot of the immigrant regulars stopped working during metro surge and some of them just never came back. I hope they found better work but I know at least some were just straight up kidnapped by the Gestapo. It's fucked.
