How Moses Got The 10 Commandments

 


God went to the Arabs and said, "I have 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
   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
   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 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
  Commandments."

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

"They're free."

"We'll take 10."
