At last it can be told! The true story of Baby Jesus and The Three Wise Men.

It started when the TWM were going to pay tribute to King Herod. On the way, they stopped to rest in a stable, only to find it was occupied by a couple who had jut had a screaming, poppy baby. They continued on their way to the palace and their audience with the king.

“What have you brought me for a Christmas present?” asked Herod.  
“A bottle of the finest scotch” said Johnnie Walker, the first wise man.  
“Why, that is better than gold” said Herod. “And you?” he asked the second wise man.  
“A bottle of the finest whisky,” said Jack Daniels, the second wise man.  
“Why, that arouses my franken senses” said Herod. “And you?” he asked the thir wise man.  
“A bottle of the finest bourbon,” said Jim Beam, the third wise man.  
“I love that myrrh and myrrh” said Herod.

However, when Herod opened the bottles ,all that was in them was some cheap, rotgut red wine. When he threatened to kill the wise men, they said “We stopped at a stable with a couple and a newborn child. The bottles must have been switched.”

“Yeah, right” said Herod. “Or maybe the newborn boy turned all the great booze into cheap wine.” And he killed Jack, Johnny, and Jim. And, for good measure, all the newborns in the kingdom.

The End.

Thank you. I’ve been waiting to use that one for a while. It came to me from a hearing of a drink called The Three Wise Men–equal amounts scotch, bourbon and whiskey.

Terry Gaiman and Neil Pratchett are planning a Halloween wedding, the first wedding to be held in the Blawnox Bijou, a former vaudeville hall shuttered since 1892 after a series of mysterious murders and rumored to be haunted every since, despite the fact that the fundamentalist Bijoux Jewels of God’s Church is located next door and plans to protest. “What could possibly go wrong?” is a quote from both of the grooms.

The pastor of The Bijoux Jewels of God’s Church, Simeon St. Stupor, had a vision in a dream where the Lord spoke to him in the form of a stoat, and sayeth: “Ummmmmm, no.” From carefully calibrated interpretation of this declamation, Mr. St. Stupor hath wreaked his fury on numerous sinners, most notably RuPaul, Orson Bean, Kristen Stewart and Oprah Winfrey. Oh, yes, and he supports the president whole-stoatedly.

Welsh’s Grape Juice and the first Ken Burns documentary _Night of the Lepus_ both premiered in 1972, leading certain conspiracy-minded scientists and scholars to postulate a connection. Less certain conspiracy-minded scientists and scholars are baffled.
