with white letters that looked like what you see on a coca-cola can. Except it read "Jesus, Eternally Refreshing".
in both breaks before lunch he took any opportunity to proselytize to anyone he could corner. During the lunch break I went home and put on my Darwin Fish (looks like the jesus fish with feet on it) T-shirt and sat right next to him when class convened. I then proceeded to ask him to be my partner every time we needed to practice on the dummies. He never said a word to me or anyone else after lunch.
