That’s exactly why monks make great beer ... it was their sustenance during Lent.

wasn’t born for diggin deep holes
I’m not made for pavin’ long roads
I ain’t cut out to climb high line poles
But I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer

I’m not the type to work in a bank
I’m no good at slappin’ on things
Don’t have a knack for makin’ motors crank, no
But I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer

So hand me one more
That’s what I’m here for
I’m built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my Bud Light
I like ‘em cold and tall

I ain’t much for mowin’ thick grass
I’m too slow for workin’ too fast
I don’t do windows so honey don’t ask
But I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer

A go getter maybe I’m not
I’m not known for doin’ a lot
But I do my best work when the weather’s hot
I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer

So hand me one more
That’s what I’m here for
I’m built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my Bud Light
I like ‘em cold and tall
I wasn’t born for diggin’ deep holes
I’m not made for pavin’ long roads
I ain’t cut out to climb high line poles
But I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer

I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer
O hand me one more boys...
That’s what I’m here for

The season of Lent means Catholics are fasting and giving up certain pleasures or vices.

Great breakdown.
However this cannot apply to Kiwis or Aussies.
I’ve drank with them. I know.
When they say lets go on the piss. ..you’re gonna be drunk for days. Gonna take a week to recover. Don’t even mess those crazy kiwi’s.

Yup, there sure are. However, the number “40” appears some 146 times in the testaments. Hint.

“The season of Lent means Christians are fasting and giving up certain pleasures or vices.”

Who made up the Lent thing, anyhow? It’s not Scriptural. Why is it “a thing”?

Google up “the temptation of Christ’. That’s a start.

After 6,000 years of Judaism and 2,000 years of Christianity, lotsa “non original” stuff has become tradition. (I’m cool with that, BTW.)

p.s. - Have you ever been to the “Babylon Bee” website? I was recently reminded: “Pastor Foolishly Spent 3 Years in Seminary When He Could Have Been Educated on the Bible by an Internet Atheist for Free.” (-:
