Reading The Bible

     I've recently begun reading the Bible during my lunch breaks at work. I'm into Exodus now. The first plague God put on Egypt was turning all their water into blood. I tell you what, even God would have had a job turning my heart hard after that!
     Anyway, I was talking to a friend and she said, "I wonder what they drank during the 7 days God kept the water as blood".
   
     I pondered this for a few hours and came up with several possible answers.

     I know the Egyptians made beer and wine and pickles so beer, wine and pickle juice (vinegar) are my first idea. Then I know they had livestock so there was milk but after less than 7 days with no water all the beasts' teats would have dried up.
     Possible answer #2 is go down to the land of Goshen where the children of Israel dwelt and try to kiss up and beg a cup of water. "You know, I always thought Pharaoh was a butt hole, I never liked him and they way he treats you all."
     The last answer comes as a joke about the mentality of good old Southern rednecks like me. "god wouldn't have ruined the sweet tea they just fixed and put in their refrigerator, would He? I mean, that would have been just spiteful!"
