It is Maundy Thursday. The day the bar in my house gets locked and sealed and an alcohol ban imposed till Sunday and the three men in the family put through regular breath analyzer tests by my mom.
Mom: Open you mouth and breathe out.
Bro (breathing in): There!
Mom: I did not get any smell!
Bro: That’s because I didn’t drink.
Mom: hmmm this is weird, you were stinking of alcohol when you came in.
Bro (with fake indignation): That is the devil's work I tell you. He wants to sow seeds of doubt in you, which will make me angry, go off religion and start drinking on Good Friday.
Mom (walking away with doubtful look): Hmmmm
Eldest bro: Now that you have given away a perfectly good excuse to drink, you have exactly one day to think of something else to have a drink this Friday.
Bro (facepalm): Tch!!!!
Dad: ROFL!!!!
Good Friday is the most painful and sad day for some people (mostly men) in my very 'religiously drinking' err religious family and these people actually suffer tremendous 'spiritual' agony on this day.
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter in advance. :)
Happy Easter. Hope your family put an end to the "spiritual" agony in a great way! :)
ReplyDeleteWine can be a shoddy substitute for that, if they are willing to lower the standards ;) Mom shouldn't have any problem with that, just tell her even the priests drink it. Happy Easter for your mom, Happy 'Eater' for you, and Happy Drinker for the men in your family ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL.. like someone said, it's a choice between spiritual or spirited pleasures :) :D
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend free from fermented farm-produce :)
Somebody call the Alcoholics Anonymous please :P

speaking of which, have you heard the (possibly apocryphal) anecdote of the famous american preacher who went to russia to, well, preach..
ReplyDeletethe tag line on the promotional posters for his tour was 'the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak', translated to russian..
upon seeing a few russians reading the poster and then laughing, the preacher asked his aide what was so funny.. the aide got it retranslated to english for him: 'he can't stand up, but he has good vodka'..
* not related, i know.. still, happy holidays..
Easter Wishes to you! Hope you get blessed immensely to come up with the most funniest blogs ever!
