Monday A.m. Comedy


I need some comedy this a.m. The following anecdote is taken from the above book by Bill Cosby. I bought this for my hubby one Father's Day, as he loves Bill's humor. (c. 2002)

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His kids. After creating the heaven, the earth, the oceans, and the entire animal kingdom, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing He said to them was "Don't."...

"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
"Forbidden fruit? Really? Where is it?"

Is this beginning to sound familiar? You never realized that the pattern of your life had been laid down in the Garden of Eden.....
A few minutes later, God saw the kids having an apple break and He was angry.

"Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" the First Parent said.
"uh-huh", Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I don't know", Adam said.
At least he didn't say, "No problem."
"All right then, get out of here! Go forth, become fruitful, and multiply!"

This was not a blessing but a curse: God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.
