Did anyone else have books in RE at school (one between two) with pictures of Jesus etc. in it, complete with 'additions' courtesy of fellow pupils...
One I particularly remember is one with Jesus on the Cross depicting the Crucification, with Romans around him, biro drawn-on penis, speech bubble from Jesus' mouth with this caption addressing the Romans;

I can't believe that really happened with him being all nailed up and everything....Comment
