Listen folks, no malarkey here. My father used to tell me a story about Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who were taken captive to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. See here, Jack, the king wanted them to learn the language and literature of the Babylonians, so he put them in the care of Ashpenaz, one of his chief officials. Now, I'm not joking, but the king wanted them to look more like Babylonians than their own people, so he changed their names to Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I tell ya what, these four men were determined not to forget the laws of their own God, so they asked the chief official for permission to eat only vegetables and water instead of the food from the king's table. Excuse me, but the chief official agreed, and at the end of the 10 days they were healthier and better looking than all the other young men. Literally! And so, when it came time to stand before the king, they were the most impressive of all the young men. Or uh, you know, the king acknowledged this and gave them positions of responsibility in his court. C'mon, man, what was that? Not gonna happen!
