Icon Biblical Reference to the Bar in Heaven
P
Paul (view)


Say, do you by chance know if you can get a bladder capacity upgrade there too?? Unfortunately, my tanks are tiny and I don't want to lose my spot at the bar.

I've found a passage from the book of Job that is only found in the Bishop's Bible...didn't make the cut to the King James or New Revised Standard.  Translated from Middle German to antiquated English, it goes something like this:

"'O Lord, why hast thou forsaken me, with your disease, pestulance, weak beer and long lines at the tap room.  My bladder is small and the refuse pits ill cared-for.' And the Lord did look upon Job and spoke from above, saying, 'Worry not, Job, for in heaven there's always a seat near the pump.  What do you expect? It's heaven!'  And the Lord did place a pint mat on a stone near the feet of Job and a heavenly host named Angus O'Reirdon(sic) poured a perfect pint of Irish Stout Ale for Job and then one for himself so as not to make Job drink alone, and toasted the Lord saying, "Halleluja, the Lord is good."
                 
Hope that helps.
