The angels are on my side

nnyI just had a fight with mormons about tea. I think my day can be counted as complete. :D
Basically they asked me if I believed in God and I said yes, yes I did. Then they asked me if I wanted to hear about their faith and I said perhaps if it wasn't raining and I was able to move my hands properly without them aching horribly, but not right now thanks. And he persisted in walking with me and talking to me about this, that and the other, and I stopped him and asked him if they drank tea.
Herbal tea, he said, to which I replied that's all very well but what about tea tea? No. No, they don't. Then I'm afraid, I said, that that's a deal breaker for me.
You'd choose tea over god? he said.
God created tea.
Cocaine, he said. Alcohol.
But - but tea! (I may have flailed.)
So they asked if I was willing to break my communion with God over tea and I said that I really didn't think that was necessary - there may well have been a 'my dear boy' in there, too. Habit.
They went away scowling and I giggled merrily on my way.
Dude, seriously. I have always wanted to fight with mormons about tea.
