Originally heard it as a Baptist/Methodist joke, the context being I suppose the rivalry between those two denominations in the American south.



It works better if it's a Baptist/Methodist joke. You would expect to see Catholics in a liquor store. Baptists aren't supposed to be anywhere near a liquor store. Methodists can drink but are expected to be a bit circumspect about it.





I've noticed a common theme in various anti-alcohol Baptists I've known. If you mention that Jesus himself drank wine, they insist (with a straight face) it was grape juice. Ridiculous. It reminds of how several different black people have told me they don't swim because blacks have heavier bones than others and they sink in water.
