Is It Enough To Drive You To Drink?
The power of prayer is all it takes to relax with a drink at a newly opened Croatian cafe. Customers at the Jedro coffee shop in Zagreb are asked to say a certain number of prayers in return for their drinks. The most expensive beverage is a Coca-Cola which costs five Hail Marys. A cappuccino costs four Our Fathers. The shop, which does not serve any alcohol, is run and financed by local parish authorities.

I'll have a Diet Coke. hehehe!
You know, I pootle along, minding my own business, thinking I'm a completely non-violent person, and then I read a post that makes me remember why cricket bats were really invented.
ReplyDelete(Tammy- "Hail Merry"- that's hilarious!)
What can I get for a hallejujia?
ReplyDeleteStrange but true-
ReplyDeleteI no longer believe or have any faith, but can still speak in tongues. WOuld that get me a bottle of vodka, do you think?
Okay, Helena just made me snort out loud.
ReplyDeleteIf it works I could learn to speak in tongues.
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteBcause you were so fervent and so sincere, they're sending you a whole truck full of Diet Coke.
By the way, I tried getting on your blog just now and couldn't ...
Do let us know if there's a drama somewhere, please
Keep smiling

Ah, yes, Helena,
ReplyDeleteOne bottle of Smirnoff coming your way.
Just don't come near Hammer and me with that cricket bat!
Keep smiling
David
Hi Epijunky,
ReplyDeleteA colleague of mine used to speak in tongues - after 30 minutes at the pub!
Keep smiling
David
Hammermeister,
ReplyDeleteFor a Halle Berry? Oh, I see, a Hallelujah ....
You had me worried there for a moment!
Cheers
David
Hi again Helena,
ReplyDeleteCricket bat? I;m outta here - like a ``bat'' out of hell!!
Keep smiling
David
Very unique place! I love seeing all these diffferent things on the blogs! Thanks for sharing. I could use a "big ole" vanilla cappicino. Do you think that would be a few extra Hail Mary's?
ReplyDeleteNot being Catholic, I don't know the Hail Marys or the ... what was the other thing???
ReplyDeleteBut I could sing a gospel song or something like that!
Bring me a Rusty Nail! heh heh Would the dear Fathers know what that is??? lol
I'm not quite sure God would approve...but then as a good Catholic girl (who belongs to a badass Protestant boy) nothing my Church does makes much sense to me anymore. I'm with Helena...where's my cricket bat...better yet, where's my field hockey stick?
ReplyDeleteom mani padi.........
ReplyDeleteThey must not have Red Bull yet. If Coke is the most expensive now I'd say Red Bull would have you own your knees for a long time. I can't help it though, I think it is a sweet idea.

Hmmmm...I'm still trying to figure out the point...is it motivation to say your prayers or an act of charity? A bribe? Or am I missing something all together?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have ever been so thirsty that I would say prayers just to get a soda!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, don't approve. Forced worship, if you're thirsty. Nah...
ReplyDeletei usually praise god for coca-cola, so this will be no problem.
ReplyDeletei mean really, caffeine AND bubbles? who *wouldn't* praise god for that?
Wow! Talk about fostering fellowsip. Hope the drinks are good.
ReplyDeletePeace!
I wonder how much business they get.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it'll be until secular "donations" are required. I don't know of many businesses that survive without taking in any revenue...
ReplyDeleteI might have to practice in order to get a drink! Cute post.
ReplyDeleteReligion cracks me up.
