The Last Supper

(8)

Damn that was fun!

I should mention at this point that I do not claim copyright protection for the preceeding cartoon idea. If some talented cartoonist out there wants to put my words into action in the form of one or more cartoons then she or he has my unconditional permission to do so.

Next subject: Jesus. As my old readers know, I am a great fan of Jesus if not in the traditional sense in the esoteric sense. I admire Jesus. Furthermore I can actually identify with Jesus from time to time when I am drunk. Here is an example:

When Jesus did The Last Supper He did it with at least twelve other folks. It was a festive affair. Wine was drunk, food was eaten. During that famous festive affair Jesus made some outrageous statements which have come down to us today: Jesus declared that the wine they were all drinking was actually his blood, and that furthermore the bread they were eating was actually his body. This was nonsense at the time and was probably an 'in joke' of some kind. I think Jesus was drunk at the time and that his words were taken seriously, out of context, by later historians, but were understood at the time by the folks around him, who laughed.
