What’s The House Brand In Heaven?
After a week of driving me over the edge, the previously mentioned earworm has fortunately subsided. Unfortunately, it has been replaced by one of my all time favorite drinking songs. Somewhere in my collection of LPs I have the original by Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, from back in the 80s as I recall, but I have not heard or thought about this humorous ditty for many years. Until now. Out of the blue comes…
Will they have Mogen David in Heaven, sweet Jesus?
If they don’t, who the Hell wants to go?
If this continues for long, I’m gonna have to stop for a drink down at the local pub before heading over to the Nashville Rescue Mission for some serious talk with the winos hanging on to the edge of reality…

The answer is, Mogen David if you’re Jewish; Heaven Hill Bourbon if you’re of the Christian persuasion; they don’t serve Muslims (against their religion, you know), and the Buddhists don’t need anything to get high. What do you suppose those Hindus drink?? Bottled water from the Ganges?
Heh… I never thought of MadDog 20/20 as being a Jewish thing. Around here in the buckle of the bible belt, they say there are two kinds of Baptists: those who drink and those who say they don’t. I’m acquainted with some of both types. Locally, since Lynchburg is just down the road, Jack Daniels would supplant Heaven Hill.
Hindus? I don’t have a clue, but surely they have some kind of Nirvana juice. Maybe someone else out there can help us with that…
Of course–a contrary opinion here–there’s the old German drinking song (translated):
In Heaven there is no beer;
That’s why we drink it here.
Something of a Pascal’s Wager at work there, it seems to me.
They better meet me at the gate with some JD & Sundrop, or ELSE! They can keep the rest of it.
