This is one of my all-time fave jokes – made especially funny by the announcement this year that they really think they did find Jesus’ remains. I posted a thread about it a while back.
My contribution, since you took my fave:
Jesus walks into a hotel with 3 nails and says, “do ya think you could put me up for the night?”
Knock knock. Who’s there?
Ether. Ether who?
Ether Bunny. Knock knock! Who’s there?
Cargo. Cargo who?
Cargo down street and run over Ether Bunny. Knock knock! Who’s there?
Boo. Boo who?
Don’t cry – Ether Bunny came through surgery all okay!
Thanks guys. Several of these came in handy around the dinner table yesterday.
It was just the wife and me and our 3 teens, but things kinda got on the wrong track when I started pouring the passionfruit juice I had bought for the occasion and someone (not me!) observed that it looked more like “the piss of Christ” than his blood.
Well, before you know it someone cracked out the vegetable dye to see what other bodily fluids we could approximate, and everyone regaled each other with our most tasteless Easter/religion jokes.
My kids said it was the “best Easter ever”, but I think they were just hopped up on chocolate.
True story: My first Easter memory was of an Easter joke my grandfather, Mustang, played. It was probably around 1971/72 so I’d have been 4 or 5. Mustang was a notorious prankster.
I was spending the night at his house like we did most weekends and I woke up to hear two shotgun blasts outside the window. Mustang walked into my bedroom a moment later with a rabbit skin and said “I just shot the damnedest rabbit outside… he was dragging along these behind him…” and opened the rabbit skin to reveal some crushed up Easter eggs (a couple that had broken during the dying process).
The next bit’s a blur. I remember my own screaming, Mustang being hit repeatedly by my grandmother (Meemaw Mustang) and yelling “I thought he’d be old enough to think it was funny!” Once I found out that I had an Easter basket I really didn’t care either way- they had another year to find another Easter bunny and meanwhile I had eggs and a big stuffed Snoopy.
