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?”

The Lord said, “They are rules for living.”

“Can you give us an example?”

“You shall not kill.”

“Not kill? We’re not interested.”

So God went to the Blacks and said, “I have Commandments.”

The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, “Honor your Father and Mother.”

“Father? We don’t know who our fathers are.”

Then God 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.”

So God went to the French and said, “I have Commandments.”

The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, “You shall not commit adultery.”

“Not commit adultery? We’re not interested.”

Finally, God went to the Jews and said, “I have Commandments.

“Commandments?” they said, “How much are they?”

“They’re free.”

“We’ll take 10.”

There, that ought to offend just about everybody!
