    Prince Comes A-Callin'Next time the Jehovah's Witnesses appear at your door, you might want to see who their spokesman is before turning them away. A Jewish couple in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, received a shock on Oct. 5 when Prince showed up at their house to stump for the religious group, reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "Doorbell rings. My husband runs upstairs and says, 'Prince is at the door!'" remembers the resident, identified as Rochelle.

    The petite "Purple Rain" pop star's timing could have been better: Yom Kippur was about to start and a Vikings game was on TV. After Rochelle's initial shock wore off, she had little patience for Prince's spiel. "I said, 'You know what? You've walked into a Jewish household, and this is not something I'm interested in.'" The artist formerly known as a freaky symbol reportedly responded, "Can I just finish?" Prince gave his testimonial for about 25 minutes and left a pamphlet. "He didn't do anything wrong," insists Rochelle. "He was very kind." Prince's attorney tells the New York Daily News that his client is "very committed" to the Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Jewish Viking fans are very devoted to two religions: Judaism and football.

    Going door-to-door during a Vikings game is very hard. You gotta admit Prince Nelson is quite the trooper.

    Prince is a JW? Is he still one? Is this for real, or some kind of joke?

    I was dreamin' when I wrote this
    Forgive me if it goes astray
    But when I woke up this mornin'
    Coulda sworn it was judgment day
    The sky was all purple,
    there were people runnin' everywhere
    Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
    U know I didn't even care

    'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
    oops out of time
    So tonight I'm gonna preach like it's 1999


    Mommy, why does everybody have a bible?
