Jesus Shot = Takes away Pain for Life.

Paying $300 to get killed?
That's a bargain for some.

Gallows humor, but that is the only way I could see how it works.

A guy I know used to make that up to smuggle into the movie theater when we were in high school, complete with those bathroom sized Dixie cups (affectionately known as "communion cups&quot .

If you drank enough of it, it'd make you think you could walk on water.

The things we drank (drunk?) when we were young. My Greek friend's father owned a restaurant and we would get drunk on Ouzo , the licorice tasting syrupy liquor. Tried a shot 40 years later and it brought back some terrible, yet great, memories.

Thankfully our kids haven't (or I haven't known about it). And nobody is around to tell them much about how their Dad and I acted in high school

And Elmer Fuddpucker Punch at our Freshman Parties. We used purple koolaid, tons of sugar, and Vodka and Everclear. The Elmer Fuddpucker was with Hawaiian Punch.

One cup of Purple Jesus and you saw the light.

Your cut-off for Elmer Fuddpucker was when you could no longer pronounce it properly.

Ahh, good times. A youth is not worth having if you can't misspend it. That is why we have more brain cells than we really need.
