Bury the Saint?

When things get bad for someone it seems there is somebody who profits. When I lived in Alaska high gas prices were good because oil drives the economy there. With the real estate market slow and sellers having a difficult time finding a buyer, I just read sellers of religious merchandise; particularly St. Joseph statues have shot up.

Instructions packaged with the St. Joseph statues variously suggest burying one upside down or upright, in the front yard, backyard or near the "For Sale" sign, facing the home, the heavens or the street, and saying a prayer or making a simple request for a buyer.

Who knows, I may send “To believers, saint moves homes,” a recent story from the Chicago Tribune, to my sellers.
