Cult of the Great Pumpkin

California health insurance agents pay homage to Charlie Brown’s comic strip deity.

In the legendary comic strip “Peanuts,” created by the late Charles
Schultz, Shultz’s young hero Charlie Brown celebrated Halloween in a
pumpkin patch where The Great Pumpkin sat. The cartoon boy with an
“every boy’s” persona would ask the Great Pumpkin arcane questions
about life; and in a manner of being, the inanimate orange harvest
veggie assumed the stature of an odd deity – or at least a sage in the
tradition of certain gods transported from Greek Mythology.

As a religion, such a pumpkin cult has its merits, and in these days of strident calls for health care reform, certain California Health Insurance
agents have taken to visiting pumpkin patches in search of their own
personal Great Pumpkin that may exist in the nether regions between
Visalia and Fresno. For days the search for this orange quasi-deity has
continued unabated, but although some giant spheroids, many with black
features painted on them like human faces, have been located, none as
of yet can be considered sacred or wiser than others culled from among
their brethren.

“Where this Great Pumpkin resides…” proclaimed an excitable agent
from the environs around San Bernardino, speaking aloud but in very
muted tones, “makes him liable to be an oracle able to speak in
tongues, or to offer wisdom, perhaps possessing a fluency
understandable only to those who sell policies for every conceivable
need, including but necessarily limited to the occasional
health-related whim.” This agent soon attracted a considerable
following with such talk, and the second Cult of the Great Pumpkin was
born.

Finally, as All Hallows Eve approached, a sacrifice was needed, and bands of gathering California Health Insurance
agents began roaming the entire state like insurance-minded dervishes.
Choosing a suitable Great Pumpkin, even for pie, proved to be a
dangerous undertaking once the attention of the real Great Pumpkin was
attracted, and soon chunks of familiar faces began turning up
everywhere, during the night and especially once the sun was up. In
fact, the most introspective California Health Insurance
agents, imitating Charlie Brown in a wondrous reincarnation of animated
perpetual boyhood, began sitting Buddha-like in sundry patches all over
California. Finally, an unfortunate California Health Insurance agent was indeed mistaken for that very orange veggie he’d been searching for. It was bound to happen.
