| | Another spin on an old joke -- in fact, it make an interesting piece of research to see just how many centuries old this joke is. As I heard it, 35 years ago...
A woman was traveling home to Belgium from France and when the train crossed the frontier, the customs inspector looked into her bags. "What is this?" Obviously, it is a bottle of Lourdes Water. The inspector looks closer, pulls off the cork and smells the bottle. "This is wine." Sacre bleu! It is a miracle!
A little later, I found a great comic book that I wish I still had, Jesus. The stories were told with humor and wisdom and insight and bit of sympathy, with art that was sort of like R. Crumb. One starts out with Mary telling Jesus to get dressed. "Aw, gee, mom, I don't want to go to cousin Solly's wedding." Get dressed!. So, there are all sitting around and Jesus is looking glum, head on his hand, elbow on the table. He looks at a goblet. "Water?" <tink!> That's better. The next to him nudges him, indicating his own cup. <tink!> In the last frame, they are all linked at the elbow, rocking back and forth, singing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."
