Cousins, eh?
Sort of related, but still quite funny. My Mum had recently come back from Israel and had bought some holy water from the Jordan or whatever, because being a religious type, she will keep it for all future Grandchildren's christenings and such. Bless.

Anyway, my cousin who lives in London had moved out of his place but needed to crash somewhere for two weeks while his new place was being prepared, so we offered to put him up. Being a London type, he is one of those guys who enjoys one of those fruity, overpriced ciders over ice, and as long as he bought his own, we were quite happy to provide for him the ice and glass.

Anyway, one day my mother was in a panic, because she couldn't find the holy water. I asked her where she last saw it (the obvious question really) and she said she put it in an ice tray to preserve its holiness (apparently holiness has a use-by date) and then it was then that it clicked. Needless to say, my cousin was a bit ashamed that he had drunken a Magners with the holiest ice possible, but I found the whole fiasco quite amusing.

This is the kind of answer
that QOTW should be full of.

Lucky she's not a Hindu.
The Ganges would've made it taste funny.

excellent stuff
but seriously, who collects holy water from a river and then freezes it in an ice cube tray?

that's just mental behaviour

Holy water ice cubes! Genius!
I want to see a version of "The Exorcist" where the priest is chanting "The power of christ compells you" whilst bouncing ice cubes off the little girls forehead.

Aftermath
There's a very important question... did it ward off the hangover the next day?
