    I’m guessing that this is the family that managed to steal Joseph’s reservation about five minutes before he and Mary showed up.

    … and then to the kid: “Take your drum and ‘pa rum pum pum pum’ somewhere else.”

    “Good luck finding someone who will appreciate it.”

    In the earliest known texts which became the bible, Joseph was described as a builder. This was incorrectly translated as carpenter. Structures in the desert area around Jesus’s time were made of rock, due to a lack of trees. A more proper description of Joseph would have been stone mason. Just one of too-numerous-to-mention mistakes in the “perfect” book.

    Just let the kid bang on that drum until the desk clerk relents. I know i’d do anything to make him stop.
