"My Cup Runneth Over"
Conversation in the car:
Don: What's that sound? Kind of a high sound.
Connie: My cups hitting each other.
Don: Oh. My cups tinkleth over.
Connie: (Chuckle.)
Don: Why did they change that!
Connie: What?
Don: "My cup runneth over."
Connie: Oh.
Don: From the 23rd Psalm. They had to modernize it, didn't they?
Connie: What's the modern version?
Don: I don't remember. "My cup's filled to the brim."
Both: (Chuckling)
Don: That does sound awful. What's wrong with keeping those wonderful translations from the King James version?!
