After the smoke filling the room woke him up, fortunately before any damage could be done, Toby turned off the heat, removed the rashers and found himself staring at a crispy portrait of Our Lord Jesus Christ, complete with long hair, beard and calming gaze. There even appears to be a crown of thorns round the edge of the pan, but some cynics have discarded this as an effect added later on. As they say, the Lord moves in mysterious ways
