The origins of the 10 commandments
God went to the Arabs and said,
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."
And the Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"
And 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 Blacks and said, "I have ten Commandments."
And the Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Honour thy Father
and
Mother."
"Father? We don't know who our fathers are."
So He went to the Mexicans and said, "I have ten Commandments."
And the Mexicans wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Thou shalt not
steal."
"Not steal? We're not interested."
He went to the French and said, "I have ten Commandments"
The French wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shalt not commit
adultery."
"Not commit adultery? We're not interested.
He went to the Jews and said, "I have ten Commandments."
"Commandments?" they said, "How much are they?"
"They're free."
"We'll take 10."
