The vinegar tasters

In a place out of doors, near forests and meadows, stands a jar of vinegar – the emblem of life.

Confucius approaches the jar, dips his finger and tastes the brew. “Sour” he says. “Nonetheless, I can see where it could be very useful in preparing certain foods.”

Jesus comes to the vinegar jar, dips in his finger, and has a taste. “Bland” is his comment. “It is not fit to drink. In order that no one else will come to drink it, I will drink it all myself.”

The next to stick a finger in was Kelvin. “Ugh. Bitter.” says Kelvin. “What the hell is this stuff?”

Jesus and Confucius face Kelvin and states “It is your fate, young child, it is your fate.” The two philosophers then take turns sprinkling him with the vinegar. Kelvin was later seen at the meadows, dancing and laughing hysterically.
