I read it as, "Jesus, the I C E-man is leaving" (as in addressing Jesus, thus
the comma -- I'm guessing a semi-colon would've been a separator, making the
"Jesus" a separate, exclamatory statement, a la, "Jesus!  The I C E-man is
leaving!"?

Maybe it's all part of the Generation Gap<tm>?


   Sadie took her aged grandmother to the art museum one day one day, for
she felt that even though the old lady was completely unsophisticated
and had lived a live entirely and utterly restricted to her family, she
could still be delighted by great paintings.

   And indeed so it seemed, for her grandmother moved from painting to
painting in a state of great joy. She had never seen anything like it in
the old country nor, for that matter, in America.

   But then, to Sadie's intense embarrassment, her grandmother stopped in
awe before a remarkable rendition of the Nativity. She prayed inwardly
that her grandmother would ask no questions, for she did not know how to
explain matters to one of so narrow and parochial a Jewish background.

   Inevitably, the grandmother did ask questions. She said wonderingly,
"The woman just had a baby, but there are animals around. Why animals?"

   "It's a stable, grandma," said Sadie cautiously.

   "And she's barefoot."

   "She's very poor, grandma."

   The grandmother considered this, then said, "And where's the father?"

   Well grandma," faltered poor Sadie, "there isn't a regular father,
sort of."

   The grandmother looked at the painting again and shook her head. "I
can't understand it," she said. "She's so poor she can't afford shoes
and has to live in a stable. She has a baby that doesn't have a regular
father. What put it into her head to have pictures taken?"
