and nobody got it.
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,
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).
