Temple Beth Water
Created | Updated Dec 23, 2003
This a reformed Temple. It started as a drive-in hotdog and root beer stand, then became a used television and record player repair place before spending a decade as a tanning salon. Pay no attention to the twelve-foot high stein with a fourteen-foot weiner sticking out of it. One of these days I'll repaint it but the bright orange and dull brown with the remains of a portrait of George Hamilton on the one side has a certain cachet.
This Temple celebrates the rites of the thirteenth tribe of Israel, the Brislimpers.
They are not mentioned in the Bible because they were the interior decorators for the early nomadic Hebrews. They lost the contract for the Sanctuary to some idjit who could write and had an in with the Levites. The Brislimpers never talk about it. I am the first person to reveal their secret in 2,712 years.
I am the sextant at Temple Beth Water. I take care of the pews and make sure the lime green Torah cover is dust-free. And I try to keep the water fountain working properly but when the minyan come in on Friday night, the water just seems to shoot in two streams to either side of their heads and they don't get a drop. If I don't fix it soon, I may find myself without a sect.
