How Moses got the Ten Commandments

Posted on January 17th, 2008 by Richard Catto 2,234 views

God went to the Arabs and said, "I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."

The Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"

The Lord said, "They are rules for living."

"Can you give us an example?"

"Thou shalt not kill."

"Not kill? We’re not interested."

So He went to the Africans and said, "I have Commandments."

The Africans wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Honour 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 Commandments."

The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said "Thou shalt not steal."

"Not steal? We’re not interested."

Then He went to the French and said, "I have Commandments."

The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

"Not commit adultery? We’re not interested."

Finally, He went to the Jews and said, "I have Commandments."

"Commandments?" They said, "How much?"

"They’re free."

"We’ll take 10."

   Fortunately he did not ask the South Africans, we might have ended up with at least one for every colour of the rainbow.
