#726. Making Old Testament Bible Themed Jokes about the iPad.

As I’ve confessed before, a few years ago, my brothers almost had to have a joke intervention with me. It was a mess and to tell you the truth, I’m not even sure how I got there. It started off so slow.

I found that using the phrase “If by” was the perfect little sarcastic twist to add to an otherwise normal sentence. When someone would ask me a question, I would answer like this:

“Am I thirsty? No. If by ‘no’ you mean, “I could drink an ocean of grape kool-aid right now!”

See? It wasn’t even funny, but I got so tangled up in it. Before long, I was using the “If by” phrase dozens of times of day. Friends and family members became concerned. Small children and dogs could sense something was wrong with me. Very bad season really, but I recovered. And I think we as a community can too.

Recover from what?

From making Old Testament Bible themed jokes about the new tablet from Apple.

If you’ve never heard one of these jokes, then you are living a pretty good life my friend. You really are.

The jokes are simple, most humor viruses usually are. At the core is comparing the Apple tablet to the tablets Moses brought down with the Ten Commandments chiseled on them. That’s it. Easy. But things never stay that way.

What starts as one little joke spirals out of control until someone is doing a mildly witty twitter stream about the new “iMoses.” (You know who you are, you know who you are.)

So today I want to declare joke amnesty. This stops right here, right now. Let’s get it out of our system. Let’s come together as a community and get out any and all iPad Bible related jokes we have and then let’s walk away. Not mad, just walk away.

So let’s have it.

If you’ve got a bad Christian joke, let loose. I declare today, “Bad Christian Joke” amnesty day. Share it and then just walk away. Let it go. Don’t look back.

What’s your bad Christian joke?
