How Moses really got the Ten CommandmentsRico says that Rob's right, that's just about everybody. Though there's probably a Russian and a Chinese stanza, if Rico can think of them...
One day God went to the Arabs and said: 'I have some 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?'
The Lord said: 'Thou shalt not kill.'
'Not kill? We're not interested.'
So He went to the blacks and said: 'I have some 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 some Commandments.'
The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said: 'Thou shalt not steal.'
'Not steal? We're not interested.'
Then He went to the French and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
The French, too, wanted an example and the Lord said: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.'
'Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'
Finally, He went to the Jews and said: 'I have some Commandments.'
'Commandments? How much are they?'
'They're free.'
'We'll take ten.'
There, that should offend just about everybody.
