Dear Little Lost Tiki,
I have family coming in for the holidays and am not too particularly fond of a few of them.... is it a forgivable sin to refill the 'good' bottles with cheaper stuff and serve to the less than loved family members?
Dearest Chip and Andy,
There are no forgivable sins...
Of course,if you mentally viewed it as an attempt not to "waste"
then you MAY just get around that....
Of course, a touch of arsenic wouldn't hurt
and the almond scent will add to the holiday atmosphere around the home....
On 2009-12-21 09:43, Chip and Andy inquired:
And, as a continuation of the question; in what level of hell, exactly, will I potentially burn for laughing (to myself) when they go on and on about how great 'the good stuff' is I am serving (because they are label whores)?
That could be a few levels....depending on how you'd like to view this situation....
the Third Circle contains the Gluttons
Which would apply to you two if you were withholding the good booze
only to binge on it at a later date....
the Fourth Circle contains the prodigal and Avaricious...
the latter meaning immoderately desirous of accumulating property,power,and the like....
If your intentions are to keep your good booze to yourself and to hoard it
then this would be the level for you!
The fifth Circle contains the gloomy and the Wrathful...
Laughing to yourself as to how those undesirable kin are drinking cheap booze
yet thinking it's the "good stuff" would probably fall under mini-Wrath.....
and of course, if you escape all of these.....
Level 8,the Malebolge, would be your final destination....
That is an amphitheater-shaped pit of despair made of stone for those guilty of fraudulence and malice...
Looking over the other options....
This one seems to carry TWO of the motivations behind
not only the booze counterfeiting
but the laughing at the "bad" relatives at their expense.....
So i would pick Circle Eight for you two!
Good Luck with that
and merry Christmas!
:)
