It was the Last Supper, Jesus is sitting with his disciples at the table.
Jesus stands ups, lifts the bread up and said "Take This All Of you, And Eat It, For This Is My Body"
He puts the bread down and lifts the wine up and said "Take This All Of You, And Drink It, For This Is My Blood".  
Just then Peter jumps up and yells, "Oh sit down Jesus, you're drunk."
