Sometimes when your head is sooo filled with air and is flying high …. h-i-i-i-gh up in the clouds, you think of some funny stuff or it seems to you to be funny and later on when you have landed… ehhh… I will jot it down anyway… wrote this while up on a plane in US Airways…
Time: Waaaay back then… Old Testament times
Location: the City Gate:
Who: A bunch of prophets who were contemporaries of each other meet: Isaiah, Micah and Hosea
What: After a long day of prophesying. They decide to get together for a cup of Joe (= coffee) and just unwind.
Isaiah: Hey.. Old Buddy – Hosea – How are you? How did it go today?
Hosea : [Sighs] Oh… Not too good – these people – they are so ^%*#^& hard-hearted you know?
[Micah enters scene and hears Hosea]
Micah: Tell me about it. I’ve even howled like a jackal and moaned like an owl and yet my “OWOOOOOOS!” have fallen on nothing but deaf ears. [pause] Must have been ok for you aaay – Isaiah? You work in the King’s Court.
Isaiah: No. Not quite. I may be in the Court and the folks there are a trifle more educated than the common man, but really… they are no less hard-hearted than anyone else. The court have been just as rough. No one there is listening.
[Brief silence]
Micah: Y’know what – lets skip the Joe. I think I need a brandy. Day like this – thats what I need. Lets go to that fancy new pub in town, Hebrew Brew.
Isaiah: Yeah. Lets do it. Is there a dress code by the way?
Hosea: Sounds good,but say… Isss… – Can you spot me a few shekels? I’ve been kinda low. You know my wife…
