Biscotti's and Brandy

Dejesus decided to serve Brandy Alexander’s with icing-sugar and almond biscotti’s with raspberry chutney on daisy-print side plates. Dejesus felt that a light repast would help lessen the anxiety, as God talk tends to encourage moroseness and bad posture, even in the most propitiously religious. Corrigan L. McMaster and Elba D. Morales agreed to disagree, as did Dejesus and Gibbs, all four agreeing to agree on disagreeing. All this disagreeable agreeing had a calming effect on them, with the exception of Gibbs, who didn’t want to agree or disagree with any of them, even though he let on that he did. Dejesus suggested that they forego the discussion on Gibbs’ atheism and move on to the Brandy and biscotti’s. Elba D. Morales and L. McMaster said yes, that sounds like a grand idea, so Dejesus allotted each of them a cupful of Brandy Alexander and one biscotti saying as he did, ‘there will be more biscotti’s for each of you once the sun sets and Gibbs decides to join in the discussion’. Gibbs frowned, the corners of his mouth curling up like disembodied prepuces, and swiped his allotted biscotti from Dejesus, who was holding them out as an offering, a sort of Eucharist minus the Priestly blessing and sanctification.

"the corners of his mouth curling up like disembodied prepuces" is great imagery, Stephen.
