Did you hear how Moses got the ten commandments? God was coming
down the mountain and the first person he came across was not
Moses. It was a Roman.
He asked the Roman if he wanted any commandments? The Roman
replied, What's a commandment?" God said, "Thou shalt not kill."
The Roman replied, "Hell no! We're a warring nation. That's how
we make our living."
So God went on down the mountain. The next guy he came across was
a nomadic tribesman. He asked this guy if he wanted a
commandment. The guy replied, "What's a commandment?" God said,
"Thou shalt not steal."
The guy said, "Hell no! That's how we make our living." So God
went on down the mountain. The next guy he came across was Moses
with a bunch of little Jews following him.
God asked Moses, "Do you want any commandments?" Moses asked, "How
much are they?" God said, "They're free." Moses replied "Yea
sure, we'll take ten....."
