How Moses got the 10 Commandments
HOW MOSES GOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
One day God went to the Arabs and said, 'I have some Commandments for you that will make your lives better.'
The Arabs asked, 'What are Commandments?' And the Lord said, 'They are rules for living.'
'Can you give us an example?'
'Thou shall not kill.' 'Not kill? We're not interested.'
So He went to the blacks and said, 'I have some Commandments.'
The blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, 'Honor thy Father and Mother.'
'Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested.'
Then He went to the Mexicans and said, 'I have some Commandments.'
The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said 'Thou shall not steal.'
'Not steal? We're not interested.'
Then He went to the French and said, 'I have some commandments.'
The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, 'Thou shall not commit adultery... ’
'Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'
Finally, He went to the Jews and said, 'I have some Commandments.'
'Commandments?' They said, 'How much are they?'
'They're free.'
'We'll take 10.'
There, that should offend just about everybody.
