Merry Gin Day 2006 Edition: Jesus is the Reason for the Season
Original Post Here.
Setting: In-laws' condo in Vermont. Late on Christmas night. Martha Who, Husband, In-laws are in living room. It is quiet. Brother-in-Law enters from kitchen with a fresh gin and tonic for himself and one for Mr. MarthaWho.
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
Here you go. (handing G&T to Mr. MW)
MR. MARTHAWHO:
Thanks, Man. What is this I'm drinking?
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
It's a gin and tonic.
MR. MARTHAWHO:
Sweet. Thanks. Haven't had one of these since high school.
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
You know how to party, man. Merry Gin Day.
(he raises his glass and they both drink)
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
Ahhhh gin. Like Jesus' nectar.
(MarthaWho's Mother in Law looks up from her book)
MARTHA'S MOTHER-IN-LAW:
Huh? Who?
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
(sounding it out)
Jee-sus' nect-ar.
MARTHA'S MOTHER-IN-LAW:
Cheeses? Who is that?
MARTHA'S BROTHER-IN-LAW:
Exactly, mom. Exactly.

The material truly does write itself. I don't know what he does for a living, but he could provide dialog for some erudite, drinking-centered cable television network. Like, if Cheers had been more about the drinking.
A Christmas gift that keeps on giving. Truly.
