So Joseph got shoved in a well, then sold off to Egypt.
That all kind of sucked, but Joseph was the sort of guy to make the most of a bad situation, so he did alright until he refused to have sex with the wife of the guy who owned him. That kind of pissed the lady off, so she made up some story about him and had him thrown in prison.
While he was in prison Joseph started chatting with a couple of the other inmate. One of them was a baker, one of them was a sommelier. There wasn’t much to do in jail, so the baker and the sommelier started dreaming. The sommelier dreamed about squeezing wine out of grapes, and the baker dreamed about birds eating bread. Nothing about these dreams seems particularly extraordinary, but the guys were all in a tizzy about it, so they asked Joseph what the deal with the dreams was.
Joseph pointed at the sommelier. “You’re gonna live.” He said. “And you,” he said pointing at the baker, “are gonna die. Mr. Sommelier, when you live you should get me out of prison.
Sure enough the sommelier lived, and the baker died. But Joseph stayed in prison.

Dumbest Blog Ever 
Again, well done and concise.
Thanks.
Was it sliced bread?
Yep. And the bread wasn’t the only thing that got sliced.
I hear the Jews do that sort of thing!
Lolz. See last week’s bible story for more on that.
I saw and offered you a tip!
I’ll pass, but thanks anyway!
the musical based on this story is just about my all-time favorite, along with Camelot…
and Joseph did ok, despite the sommelier (I always thought it was a butler…)
That musical bores me to tears. Lots of place say butler, but I always thought a butler was a tall English dude with a mustache who takes your coat. This particular dude doesn’t seem to be taking many coats, and the story doesn’t say anything about a mustache, so I figure he must be a sommelier. But I could be wrong about that.
a sommelier is like a wine butler…
and I’ve seen the play probably close to a dozen times, and have written about it a few times…
Good for you, someone’s got to enjoy it!
So yeah, this dude seems like he’s all about wine.
I guess that’s why he forgot to help Joseph…
Some drink to forget, others forget to drink. Which is worse?
and in California, some dance to remember, some dance to forget
That’s true. The Eagles have a song about it.
so then it must be true.
I avoid dancing so that no one has to remember such a spectacle…
Ha!
Moral of the story is, don’t chatter 🙂
Shh…
….
Left me speechless.
I hope that’s a good thing.
It’s definitely a thing.
