Funny Friday – Nothing To Do But Drink

A drunk driver trapped after overturning his car cracked open another can of beer while awaiting rescue. Paul Sneddon, 47, ‘had nothing to do’ but drink, a court heard. When police asked how much he had to drink, the jobless baker said: ‘Plenty.’ A court in Palmerston North, New Zealand fined and banned him.

This story really brings home what the Bible says in Proverbs 23: 29-35

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?  Who has contentions? Who has complaining?  Who has wounds without cause?  Who has redness of eyes? Those who linger long over wine,  Those who go to taste mixed wine. Do not look on the wine when it is red,  When it sparkles in the cup,  When it goes down smoothly; At the last it bites like a serpent  And stings like a viper.

Your eyes will see strange things  And your mind will utter perverse things. And you will be like one who lies down in the middle of the sea,  Or like one who lies down on the top of a mast. “They struck me, but I did not become ill;  They beat me, but I did not know it.  When shall I awake?  I will seek another drink.”

What i don’t understand is how comfortable he was while drinking and waiting, upside down,  to be rescued.

Have a nice weekend.
