In Essence Puns

In essence, Jesus is never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

I meandered down to the bar, take a seat and he sets a tall glass in front of me, icy and bubbly. I take a sip, tell my buddy, "This is good!" He says "Thank You" and moves off to take care of other customers. I continue to sip the drink, trying to identify what is in it. Hmm... gin, tonic, something else... I cannot identify. I notice halfway through the drink I am feeling pretty good! I continue to sip and hang out until I take the last drink. And then, BLAM! I am out. I awake a while later to my buddy shaking me and asking how I am. I was still feeling pretty drunk, and asked him "Just what in the heck was in that drink?" He grins and holds up this bottle of oddly colored liquid. "This" he says, "Is the secret ingredient. I make a regular gin and tonic, and add this to it. What is it?" I ask. "It is the extracted essence of feline follicles!" "CAT HAIR!" I scream. "Yup! And everyone has the same reaction you did! They finish the drink and pass out!" "What the heck do you call this drink?"

Cat-a-Tonic!

In essence, they do.

My coworker got back from the Essence Festival in New Orleans today and was sharing about it in a group of 4 black people and myself (pretty white). Her: Bourbon st. is so overrated, we just went back to the apartment at 1:30 when some fools started shooting. Me: What? Why'd you leave just when the party started poppin'!?

Groans and laughs were had by all...
