Jesus can handle a little ribbing. Seriously, he can. He told me.

[Bouncy Ball]

He said "Bouncy, now what do you know about people getting their panties in a twist over me?"

And I said "Well my Savoy, it seems a lot of people take offense at you being called 'Jeebus' and being put on a trailer hitch and stuff like that."

The King of Kings chuckled. "'Jeebus,' that's funny."

"I KNOW!" I said, "That's what I said!"

He sighed. "I saw that picture of me on the cross on someone's trailer hitch. I have to say, 2000 years and some change and that's a first. They were really motivated to get me out there in front of that hospice."

"Yeah," I said, "Um, about Terri--"

"Nope," he stopped me. "Can't say anything about that. We have a rule about calling people out. The Big Man gets a bit miffed over that. In fact....um.....don't say anything, but....he's re-thinking that whole 'I'll never send a flood and wipe you all out again' stuff."

"WHAT?" I said, feeling alarmed.

"Yeah, he's thinking about kicking it Old Testament style around here." The Lord of Lords looked around sadly.

"Oh my Go---" I stopped. "Oh my goodness. I--I don't know what to say, I mean we aren't ALL bad."

The Good Shepherd started to laugh so hard I thought he was going to pop a blood vessel.

"Ha.....HA.....GOTCHA!!! Just kidding. Whew!" He wiped the tears off his face and caught his breath.

"Hey, um, Lamb of God, that wasn't very funny."

"Oh come on," he said, elbowing me a bit. "Lighten up. Once you've lost your sense of humor, whatchoo got left? After all, didn't I say once 'Verily I say unto thee, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a humorless man to get into heaven?'"

I said, "Um, I think you said RICH man."

"Oh," He said, suddenly serious and giving me a MAJOR hairy eyeball. "So you've been reading that KING JAMES version, huh?"

I was taken aback. I told Him, well yes, as I can't read any of those ancient languages anyway.

He was suddenly upset. "DANGIT. That means there are OTHER mistakes, too! I said HUMORLESS MAN, HUMORLESS MAN! Shoot. But rich people are pretty screwed, too."

The Prince of Peace started to walk away. "Hey!" I called out, "Where you going?"

"Oh, I've got some butt-kicking to do down in Florida. Might as well, while I'm here."

I would have wished Him good luck, but I doubted He needed it.

GO JEEBUS!

[progmom]

[Bouncy Ball]

3. progmom?

[LynneSin]

6. Hey, I'm a little peeved here...

...where's my lovin'

Great one Boucy!

[Bouncy Ball]

8. Lynne

now you KNOW I love you, girl!

:loveya:

[LynneSin]

10. I know, but I've been crampy all day

so sometimes it helps to hear it

MORE CHOCOLATE DAMNIT!! I'LL EVEN EAT THOSE DAMN CHOCOLATE CROSSES

[Bouncy Ball]

20. If you eat the chocolate crosses,

the chocolate AND the piousness will combine in an unstoppable pain-relieving force that will ZAP those cramps away quick!

That or I can talk to my friend Jebus, but I bet he's halfway to Florida by now.

[MissB]

2. That was truly funny

:loveya:

[Bouncy Ball]

4. I'm a little delusional, you'll have to excuse me.

[TOhioLiberal]

5. That's funny!

Speaking of which, have you ever read 'Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal' by Christopher Moore? Funny, and along the same line as your 'conversation.'

[Bouncy Ball]

7. No, I'll have to check that out, thanks!

[TOhioLiberal]

12. No problem...

...I couldn't go more than a page or two without laughing. It would definitely make freeper's heads explode...seriously! :rofl:

[JimmyJazz]

26. That book is absolutely hysterical!

ONe of my favorites. :)

[Solly Mack]

9. You're a gem!!

You really are...

[Coexist]

11. Thanks - that made it feel like Friday already

too funny.

[jswordy]

13. Jesus told ME, "Don't listen to Bouncy Ball!" AND He said...

....it will rain here on Friday. :shrug:

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Um, he likes to go by Jeebus, not Jesus.

It made him laugh, remember?

And no way he said that. Remember, the Big Guy has a rule about calling people out!

You're gonna get tombstoned if you keep blasphemerating and I don't mean CYBER tombstoned either!!!

SHAZAM!

[jswordy]

28. He told ME his real name is RALPH!

[jswordy]

29. 'n Jesus is just a stage name!

[AlCzervik]

14. that made my day.

Bouncy is Jesus's homegirl.

[Bouncy Ball]

17. And Jeebus is my homeboy.

I'm down with him.

:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

16. Thank you!

:applause:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. I told you you should write a book

[Bouncy Ball]

19. I'll get it half done and stop.

I'm weird like that. I have five half written novels in my desk.

Besides, I'd rather save up all my good stuff for you guys!

[short bus president]

21. then write short stories!

:P

[Bouncy Ball]

24. I've got those, too.

And they ARE finished, but oddly, they tend to be serious. They make people cry. I don't post them here.

[jonnyblitz]

22. somebody needs to tell his followers. nt

[Bouncy Ball]

23. I am!

Now they'll know he said "humorless man." Not rich man. Though he said they're screwed, too.

So drink up, my friends! Jeebus is smiling on you!

;-)

[ralps]

25. Go get Em Jeebus, and thanks for the thread Bouncy Ball

:yourock: :loveya: :hug: :woohoo: :applause: :hi:

[tigereye]

27. that was great

it's about time he actually got to tell his side of the story. ;) I suspect he would have to have a pretty good sense of humor.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Told Me The Same Thing

Played golf with him yesterday. He's a serious golfer. Cheats though! Here's what a happened!

On the first hole, he hits his drive (big hitter, Jesus is). Hits his second shot right by the hole. But, he missed a 4 footer by about 5 inches, then suddently the hole moves directly under his ball. He called it a birdie, but i wrote down a 4. Miracle, shmiracle! He giggled about it for the next 5 holes. Then on six, he does it again. Good sense of humor, but completely unfair on the golf course to do a miracle just because he missed a putt!

But, he did say he could take a joke, since i kept calling him a cheater and stuff. Pretty funny guy!

The Professor

[Bouncy Ball]

31. He cheats at golf because He hates it and thinks it's evil!!!!

He told me. You sure you weren't playing golf with a demon?

[datasuspect]

32. can you make my jesus ribs with extra bbq sauce please?

[Bouncy Ball]

34. Groan.....

:D

[hfojvt]

33. according to the sociologist in "The Stand"

Jesus should have said that "wherever two or more are gathered someone is about to get the living sh*t kicked out of him." I don't know about "humorless man".

But you should have asked Him who was gonna win in the Final Four. You coulda cleaned up.

Also my SS teachers made a point of telling us wee ones that the rainbow did not mean the human race was safe. It only meant that we would not be drowned, we still could be extinctified with burning sulphur (or nukes).

[Bouncy Ball]

35. Oh MY!

Um, what an exciting Sunday school class you must have had. :scared:

And to think I always found that passage so comforting....

[WindRavenX]

36. Tell Jesus he owes me 20 bucks

That crazy dawg and I go drinkin' every friday night. But damn, he can be mighty cheap when the tab comes...

[Bouncy Ball]

37. If he comes hitchhiking back this way, I'll be sure to tell him!

[elshiva]

38. Thanks! Jesus does have a sense of humor.

[Bouncy Ball]

39. It's a firm belief of mine.

:thumbsup:
