  1. A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.

    After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.

    Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed before him.

    The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.

    He replied in disgust \”I\’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\”

    Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said \”Me too, I didn\’t know we had a choice.\”
