Grilled cheesy ephipany

I don't know why I hadn't noticed this before, but in all of the TV footage tonight showing the woman with the "Virgin Mary on a Grilled Cheese Sandwich" -- it sold for $28,000, dontchaknow-- she shows off the decade-old sammich with movie posters on the wall behind her. The posters I saw? Switchback and Caddyshack II. I believe the appropriate phrase here would be: May God have mercy on her soul. Only in Hollywood (Florida, that is). Watch the disturbing story from beginning to end courtesy of WFOR, the Miami CBS affiliate.

P.S. The sandwich lady told TV reporters she has received "a lot of luck" over those 10 years, including $70,000 in casino winnings. So how does she explain her teeth? No faith in dentistry?
