   HOW MOSES GOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS...   
      
   God went to the Arabs and said,   
   'I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.'   
      
   The Arabs asked, 'What are Commandments?'   
   And the Lord said, 'They are rules for living.'   
      
   'Can you give us an example?'   
      
   'Thou shall not kill.'   
   'Not kill? We're not interested..'   
      
      
   So He went to the Blacks and said, 'I have Commandments.'   
      
   The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said,   
   'Honor thy Father and Mother.'   
      
   'Father? We don't know who our fathers are.   
   We're not interested.'   
      
      
   Then He went to the Mexicans and said,   
   'I have Commandments.'   
      
   The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said 'Thou shall not   
   steal.'   
      
   'Not steal? We're not interested.'   
      
   Then He went to the French and said,   
   'I have Commandments.'   
      
   The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, 'Thou shall not   
   commit adultery.'   
      
   'Sacre bleu!!! Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'   
      
   Finally, He went to the Jews and said,   
   'I have Commandments..'   
      
   'Commandments?' They said, 'How much are they?'   
      
   'They're free.'   
      
   'We'll take 10.'   
      
      
      
   There. That, should piss off just about everybody...
