[Larry forwarded this irreverent summary of the Bible from little eyes]
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God,
darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, ‘The Lord thy God is one, but I
think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, ‘Give me a light!’
and someone did. Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t
embarrassed because mirrors hadn’t been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed
God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.
Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn’t have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who
lived to be like a million or something. One of the next important people
was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah
built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some
other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain
check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his
brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some
pot. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, who led the Israel Lights out of Egypt
and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh’s
people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God
fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top
Ten Commandments. These include: don’t lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet
your neighbor’s stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy
father and thy mother.
One of Moses’ best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use
spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the
town. After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a
slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500
porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn’t sound very wise
to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was
Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don’t have to
worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The
New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn
too, because my mom is always saying to me, ‘Close the door! Were you born
in a barn?’ It would be nice to say, ‘As a matter of fact, I was.’)
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees
and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas
Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after
him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some
Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on
trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn’t stick up for Jesus. He just
washed his hands instead. Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back
to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the
Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
And that’s all I know.
