As a non-native speaker of English, but as someone who has studied English linguistics at University level, I find these expressions very funny, when used as expressions of amazement and surprise, and I would like to collect FROM YOU as many of these as possible.
The ones I know:
- Jesus "H." Christ!
- Jesus Christ on a bike!
- Jesus Christ on rubber crutches!
but I'm sure there's plenty more. (Especially from movies and books, I guess)
So keep 'em coming!

To all religious people reading this: This journal is for my personal enjoyment, and collection of linguistic data only and in no way intended to make fun of YOU personally or your BELIEFS. Just move on quietly if you don't like it.
I think of the character "Jesus Christ" as a literary figure.
My journal is concerned with "expletives" (so the scientific term) around that figure and my interest is purely of a linguistic nature.
The religious aspect related to that character is of no interest to me here.
You are welcome to contribute, but do not expect me to enter into a religious argument with you here.

When my little sister was about 5 years old, she thought it was "Christ on a crust."
There's also "Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ," too.

It doesn't involve "Jesus" but it is quite holy!
Then there's the ones my Catholic friends would use "Holy Mary, Mother of God!"
