UPS is still out to lunch

[Thomas]

WOW, once I was invited to give a wine class for a group. The woman who invited me found me on this board. She had read my book and thought I had something to offer a bunch of her catering customers. I agreed to do it.

When I got there I noticed the people seemed not only to know the host but they knew one another. A little ways into the evening I asked the host if she always got so friendly with her customers. She said, "well, these guys are more than customers; we are all Jehova Witnesses."

She saw my jaw drop, and then she said, "don't worry we aren't here to convert you."

"But I thought Witnesses don't drink wine," I said.

She told me, "Oh no. We interpret the bible literally, and if you do that you must accept wine."

I also found out that night that J Witnesses network for business reasons, giving their own priority over any other. Why did many of them drink Lindemans' wine? The winery is owned by J. Witnesses.

I love wine for its pleasure and for its surprises.
