I made a damn funny joke tonight...

and nobody got it. :frowning:
So I was at the bar and a couple guys next to me were talking about jobs. I know both of them and they are pretty cool, one guy gets all Jesus-ey when drunk and the other likes to bitch about his job alot when drunk. I noticed they were both kind of drunk so I was doing my best to ignore them. Anyway I overhear this little bitof conversation where guy number 2 complains that nobody should have to put up with the shit he has to put up with.

Jesus_drunk turns towards me and says to the whole bar “Jesus never complained about the job he had to do!”

My brain actually worked for once and I said “Yeah but Jesus had a hell of a retirement plan”

See, it was a spur of the moment improv, double-layer joke. Jesus had the retirement plan of being the right hand of the ruler of the universe, which is a good backup. But also he went to hell for 3 days. Double meaning an all that.

Yeah this post an an obvious attempt at an ego stroke, but someone here has to have understand the once in a lifetime funny I made. The whole bar looked at me like I dropped my spleen on the floor, so I had to share it with a wider audience,

What can you do…too hip for the room…

(On a side note, Jesus did complain about his job…what was all that “Take this cup from me” shite…what a whiner…)

i still don’t get it…
:smiley:

You got a chuckle from me.

strokes Wolfman’s ego

I get this all the time. Fortunately I seem to get a perverse enjoyment from telling jokes only people with a degree in maths get…

Good joke, but maybe you should have pointed out Mark 15:34.

Sounds like a complaint to me.

Well, the exit interview was rough.

Last time * I * left a job, I got a set of Cross pens.

Wait a minute. I thought you said you made a *funny * joke.

Did they not get it, or did they just think it wasn’t funny? :wink:

I didn’t know there was a genre for Christian-dork humor :wink:

In what scriptural chapter:verse does it say that Jesus went to hell for 3 days?

From the Apostle’s Creed:

Why did Jesus go to hell?

-filmgeek, who’s knowledge of the bible comes from Jesus Christ Superstar.

FilmGeek Why did Jesus go to hell?

A: To get to the other side.

snork!

Not scripture.

To free the souls of the virtuous pagans (i.e. good people who died before Christ and therefore couldn’t be granted salvation–Adam and Eve, Moses, and so on).
