The woman, perhaps flirtatiously as an opening gambit to more conversation, asks why Jesus requests water from her. Jesus responds by saying he could give her living water. However this may be intended, the woman covertly takes this as a hint of a sexual advance. She takes “living water” in the sense of semen. What liquid could be more alive? She responds: “You have no bucket and this well is deep,” or “You have no dick and this (my) cunt is deep.” The <br />woman uses well with the meaning we saw in Proverbs. In a different context, bucket might also we used of a vagina, but with respect to the well it means a penis: that enters the well and goes up and down. [I imagine the hand gestures here] Sexual innuendo by a willing woman implying that she is too much woman for the male who comes too close is a common come-on trick.[...] When Jesus says whoever drinks the water that he can give will never thirst again, she demands it. She takes his words as hinting that he will give her such a stupendous orgasm that she will never need sex again. She wants such good sex. It is on this basis that she wants Jesus’ “living water” so that she will never need it again. Nor to have to come so far to draw! From her very first words she has been testing Jesus out.'<br /><br />*slow clap*Jeremiah Baileyhttp://www.wtjblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-64629105440046338122012-11-28T08:55:42.380-08:002012-11-28T08:55:42.380-08:00Thanks for the heads up.

I don't have a better story, but I'll add that the first regional SBL I ever went to I unfortunately sat next to a semi-famous scholar who, at the end of the first paper, stood up and in some kind of sad/wacky rhetorical-Greek fashion lamented the state of his career, how ignored he was by SBL and other conferences, and by the end of the 10 min diatribe rattled off his CV for good measure. The moderator could not control him. Being it was the very first session I had ever attended ... well, it was nothing short of crazy.
