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

  • I entered the following:

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

  • 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.”

    My two entries:

    “Here’s a hard copy.”

    “Remember: I was NEVER here…”

  • Michael W

    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.

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

    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:
