    You said the secret woid, so you get these 10 commandments!

    Suddenly Jesus wished he had worn his squirting bowtie.

    Mine was,
    “Yes, and you must also cut the ends of each other’s penises off. (snort)”

  • I entered the following:

    “Pass these around but don’t tell anyone where you got them.”

    “You dropped this”

  • Psychedelic drugs have been around MUCH longer then the 1960s.

  • “But what is your name, Lord?”

    “You’ll never get to know my identity, where I live, what I’m doing, or anything about me specifically at all!”

  • “Read these rules and see if you can figure out if I’m God or the devil.”

  • david,

    Doesn’t the story go that the burning bush passed along 15 or 20 commandments but Moses dropped the tablets, leaving his people with only 10.

    I said burning bush.

  • Dave B

    Don’t worry about the first four. They’re just boilerplate.

  • Human, pick: truth or dare?

  • Dave B

    @asonge,

    I really hope that yours wins!

  • Adam

    “These are the results of the God look-alike contest. I won 3rd place!”

  • Jeff

    The only correct answer is “Moses: ‘What an asshole.'”

  • Richard P.

    Honest!! It’s the best recipe for schmaltz in the universe ever!!

  • Clyde

    I must ask you, God, does that nose truly come with the glasses?

    Can’t you go back to the burning bush? No one’s going to believe I got these from an invisible man in the sky.

    “Moses doubted God’s assurance that the 10 jokes on the stone tablets would help him get over his self-esteem issues and break into stand-up comedy.”

  • John Ueng

    Can’t find a job? Here, these are my best jokes. The name is Groucho Marx, but you can call me god.

  • Here’s what I’ve come up with for the moment. To save you another trip, though, I’ll send the rest through dreams and visions as I work them out. Thanks for coming.

  • Moses – “You can’t be serious.”
    God – “Do I look serious?”

  • Adam

    “I’m the one that beat Groucho Marx in a Groucho Marx look-alike contest.”

  • Richard Wade

    My two entries:

    “Here’s a hard copy.”

    “Remember: I was NEVER here…”

    It’ll be hilarious, trust me… trust me.

  • Richard Wade

    I got one more in:

    “No this is not my face, it’s an avatar.”

  • tlawren

    “When they make a movie about this, Charlton Heston is going to play you!”

  • Carlie

    I am the great and powerful Oz.

  • TheNP

    To modify Dustin’s:

    Moses: “Surely, you can’t be serious.”
    God: “I am serious….and don’t call me Shirley”

  • Anna

    “Is that it?”

  • Bobby

    These are the commandments of the Brothers’ Marx. Observe them, keep them holy, and never let anyone who wants to follow them follow them.

  • Rollingforest

    “If anybody asks, this was written by some other God”

  • “I’ve a party coming up with that Zues fellow.. What do you think of these knock-knock jokes?”

    Welcome to You Bet Your Eternal Life.
    Say the secret Word of God, and you split a hundred dollars between your tribes.

  • Why do these all end with 😉 ?

  • You said the secret woid, so you get these 10 commandments!

    My immediate thought was more along the lines of:
