Commandments
Doesn’t anybody want the Commandments?
God went to the Arabs and said,
“I have
Commandments for you that will make your lives better.”
And 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 have enemies that must be eliminated. We're not interested.”
So he went to the Blacks and said,
“I have
Commandments for you that will make your lives better.”
And the Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said,
“Honor
thy Father and Mother.”
“Father?
We don't know who our fathers are.”
So He went to the Mexicans and said,
“I have
Commandments for you that will make your lives better.”
And the Mexicans wanted an example, and the Lord said,
“Thou
shall not steal.”
“Not
steal? How are we going to exist? We're not interested.”
He went to the French and said,
“I have
Commandments for you that will make your lives better.”
The French wanted an example and the Lord said,
“Thou
shall not commit adultery.”
“Not
commit adultery? That takes all that fun out of life. We're not interested.”
So, he finally went to the Jews and said,
“I have
some commandments for you that will make your lives better.”
“Commandments?"
They said,
“How much
are they?”
“They're
free, God said.”
“We'll
take 10.”
