I think you mean that God's dry wit endears you to him, FL. Unless you actually mean that because of his dry wit, God has affection for you. Which I could understand.
For what it's worth, the name of the group isn't as crazy as it sounds. I mean, yes, in most places, a juice bar is like a coffee bar-- a place where you go to get fancy juice, and probably muffins as well. And a "nude juice bar" would be a place where the hippies squeezing your wheatgrass would be naked.
But in other places, a "juice bar" is a strip club without a liquor license, which can therefore only sell juice and soda. The only things fresh-squeezed there are, um, anyway.
So, a group opposed to "nude juice bars" is just opposed to strip clubs. (Or possibly opposed to strip clubs without booze, which I agree on: all nudie bars should have liquor licenses. I mean, what's nudity without drunkenness?)
I was thinking "juicebar" was going to mean a bar made of juice, like a fruit rollup. Harrumph.

Do you think they call themselves CANJAP informally?

"its," not "it's."

One of the things that most endears me to God is His very dry wit.

Ben, of course that was a typo, but the literal reading has a certain appeal as well.
Verbal, it did occur to me that we're being a bit unfair to CANJAP, but, well...it's the internet, and the name is funny.

Those silly South Dakotans. The female form is obscene, and yet the following is openly for sale on the internet:

Ah, well, different strokes, as they say.
