People of Great Britain: I don't understand your monetary system. I'm just glad that I still have a little over 24 hours with the USD system. I understand base 10, People of Great Britain, why can't you stick with base 10? And there's English and Scottish currency? Oh, God save me.
In other news, I mean to brag because I'm good. I am perhaps the best communion juice pourer I have encountered. No little pump needed, I relied purely on hand-eye coordination and poured much better than my competition, the minister, and garnered compliments from a very-grateful deacon (all the while ignoring possibly sexist comment about how he was in desperate need of a sister to prepare communion...). While setting up the trays, spotted bottles of both red and white grape juice, which brought back memories of a familiar and favorite debate, a question I used to love to pose:
Say you're in charge of communion and it's Easter Sunday, very important day. You get to the grocery store and they're all out of red grape juice. What do you do? Do you go with the white grapes, or do you choose cranberry juice? And would your answer be the same if instead of cranberry juice, there was only white grape and fruit punch to choose from? Do you choose color or flavor? How do you interpret the letter/spirit of the tradition?
Lonley reader (I don't even bother with plurals anymore), do humor me with an answer.

Why don't you mix the two to result in a grape flavor, with red coloring?
