Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

Heaven is a great place for “When I was young …” lines.

“Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.”—-Mark Twain

Especially with my team winning the game on every TV screen here.

Good place to talk religion!

Looks like you just solved that…

A bar on heaven?

Besides, all they serve is wine.

Notice there are no republicans in heaven.

Ironically, he’s complaining.

Everyone is trying to get to the bar

The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven

The band in Heaven, they play my favorite song

Play it one more time, play it all night long

Oh, Heaven

Heaven is the place

A place where nothing

Nothing ever happens

IF there were truly a situation where joy abounded, then, well, you’d be joyful. How not?

Anybody read a first hand report?

“Life is a bi!ch; and then you die” saw that on a coffee mug

There was an episode of “Night Gallery” where John Astin played two roles. The hip swinger who was condemned to Hell for all his misdeeds; and the boring, inane old coot whose idea of Heaven was to have someone who would listen to him ramble on and on forever and ever and never walk away…

you can complain about how boring it is to not have anything to complain about.

Divine comedic Easter Egg: The bar snack in the bowl is rancid.

Isn’t he complaining about not complaining?

Oh, Quit your complaining!

In Heaven there is no beer, but apparently there are Martini’s. hmm

“Holy, Holy, Holy”, repeat…

There is a great Twilight Zone about a dead petty thief thinking he was in heaven because he could get anything he wanted without any effort. He got so bored he asked to be sent to “the other place”. It was then that he was informed that he was in “the other place” for eternity

“The Hell-Bound Train”. A great short story by Robert Bloch.

CHEERS!!!

The Twilight Zone “A nice place to visit”

Ah, but is this not, in itself, a complaint? Therefore, he must be happy there.

Anyone who thinks eternity in heaven sounds nice has no concept of what eternity implies. Just let my existence end, please.

Ah, the spice of life (or death)!

It does seem that the more one hears about heaven, the less heavenly it seems. Does one really want to spend eternity doing nothing but singing away trying to satisfy the amazingly immature emotional needs of a supreme being with remarkably intense narcissism, severe anger management issues, a profound lack of basic communication skills, a bizarre level of cruelty and a massively inflated ego?

I certainly hope for some humour in the afterlfe.

Nor is there a god in heaven. Frankly there is no heaven either.

People really don’t complain at bars, they talk, sports, kids. One time there was a guy with a bit of land, started raising pigs, hated it so much he switched to sheep. Talked about that for hours, learned more about sheep and pigs than I ever wanted too.

Nothing to do all day but “worship” a needy deity.

If you really want to know what happens after death, swat a mosquito.

If idea of is heaven is sitting in a bar drinking then you are an alcoholic.

The Saints are 2-2 this season.

It’s kind of like thermodynamics: nothing happens if there is no difference in potential.

I’ve found that getting is more satisfying than having.

This probably explains what my attitude towards money is. Money is to DO things not to HAVE things.

“Men have feverishly conceived a heaven only to find it insipid, and a hell to find it ridiculous.” — George Santayana

An old Broadway musical by Rodgers&Hart—I MARRIED AN ANGEL.

A man literally marries a female Angel and figures he’s got the perfect wife. Only an Angel demands levels of perfection from mortals that are impossible.

HE GETS FIRED Because "Angel’ screamed at his Boss’ wife for wearing a fur coat

So someone’s idea of Heaven is unlimited Happy Hour.

Maybe no humor in the Twain sense but undescribable joy and pleasure sounds like a pretty good trade off. Also, maybe the ability to watch the stupidity of Man from heavenmight fill that void…..

Yeah, no.

On the other hand, endless refills, and no tipping. And that blond at the end of the bar really does dig you.

Does that mean … Heaven is really hell for some?

Religion and thinking there is an afterlife is always good for a laugh.

Where would we be without Snark! Internet meet snark, snark meet internet ! ;-)

reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode…

Reminds me of an old joke. A guy dies and goes to heaven. He’s new, so he’s getting the grand tour of the place. He sees a small box with a slot in it, asks what it’s for. The guide explains that it’s for complaints.

Completely floored, he replies, “In heaven?! What could you possibly have a need to complain about in heaven?! Why would you require such a thing up here?”

To which the guide replies, “That’s easy: Some people aren’t happy unless they can complain.”

Old habits die hard. At least the ingredients are perfect.

Heaven will be everlasting joy. Jesus Christ. Don’t leave this life without accepting Him as Lord and Savior! Untold thousands of 1st century people were martyred because of their belief in Him. They had seen Him performing miracles, watched Him die and saw Him after He was resurrected from the dead. They did not deny Him. Even though it meant certain death. Please don’t deny Him!

Well, do they have bars in, shall we call it, the alternative place of accommodation? And if so, are the drinks any good?

It has been my experience that there are an awful lot of people out there who think that an argument is having a “good conversation”.

“Oh, don’t the world seem dull and flat When there’s nothing whatever to grumble at.”

Yeah, just peer over your cloud down on those living on earth. You’ll have plenty.
