    Funny how much water gets involved in the Exodus story. The moral must be to not wish too hard for what you want …

    Yes, Noah and Moses. Caption says, the Condensed Bible. Like a mash-up. Should work out, Moses can part the flood, and Noah can take the tablets (there’s 2 of them) on the ark.

    Did someone say yyyyguy?

    Anyone who accepts the ‘tablets’ is wise, but maybe no one prayed for rain. Judgment usually comes without request.

    An old trick question in Sunday School was, “How many of each animal did Noah take on the Ark?”

    I think the problem was no one praying for it to STOP raining.

    Makes more sense than the unabridged version…

    OK, now I’ve got to go dig out my old Cosby albums…..

    crunkbot said, 2 months ago

    So “the Bible” means just two stories? I think there’s a lot more than that in there.

    dsmo8, wasn’t the “trick question”, “how many of each animal did Jonah take on the ark?” Maybe I missed that class….or your point.

    the ducks did it…..hence the term:
    good weather for ducks!

    In Michigan, it can snow for forty days and forty nights, no big deal….

  20. dsom8

    dsom8 said, 2 months ago

    Bob Wells,
    Jonah or Noah both work for the trick question. But the cartoon doesn’t have Jonah in it. But Wiley could help out crunkbot by adding a whale! There are a lot of other “water” images that could be added from the Bible, but this is “Non Sequitur,” not a theology forum.

    I like this toon. All it needs is for bad-luck-magnet JOB to float by on a raft.

  22. WinnieNicklaus

    WinnieNicklaus said, 2 months ago

    dsom8, so what’s the answer?

  23. Dracip

    Dracip said, 2 months ago

    Yeah, man, did JOB get screwed or what?

  24. dsom8

    dsom8 said, 2 months ago

    A big OOPS! for me, Winnie. It appears I fell for my own trick quiestion.

    The question is supposed to be “how many did Moses (or Jonah) take?”

    And the hoped-for answer is “2,” which earns the reply “Wrong! Moses (or Jonah) didn’t build the ark, Noah did!”

    Better I should go back to work!

    According to the Bible, no one prayed for rain until a long time AFTER Moses died.

    The ark was not shaped like a sail-boat with the sails missing. It was built like a barge. There were no windows open during the days when it was raining on the earth while Noah and family plus the animals were in the ark.

    Of the “unclean” animals, there was one opposite-sex pair of each; but, of the rest of the animals, there were 7 opposite-sex pairs.

    Unlike the artists’ conceptions of the 2 tablets of stone containing 5 commandments on one and 5 on the other, they were identical with writing on both sides. The “Ten Commandments” are merely Introductory Paragraphs for the 10 categories into which the more than 600 commandments on the stones were placed.

    When Jesus quoted the 2 greatest commandments, neither of them were in the “10 Commandments;” but, both of them were on each of those 2 stone tablets where God wrote them.

    Joe Allen was there, he must know……..he constantly blabbers about stuff.

    Besides…….who’s gonna clean up that mess on the bottom deck?

    Sad that people can not just enjoy humor for the sake of humor.

    This is a cartoon and not meant to be a commentary on bible stories. Some of you need to get a life - and a laugh.

    Bob Wells said, 2 months ago

    Hey, GP…I don’t normally comment on cartoons…too many thin-skinned folks out there. God forbid we would bring up His name…or His word. I made a comment on a comment, and got jumped on.

  31. thebird55

    thebird55Genius_badge said, 2 months ago

    Good info Joe Allen. But have you ever noticed that the two ‘greatest commandments’ sum up the decalogue? The first four deal with God (yeah, I said it) and the last six deal with our ‘neighbors’.

    JanCinVictorville: You have that old Cosby “Noah” album also? “No, who is it really?”

  33. Burgundy2

    Burgundy2 said, 2 months ago

    “Am I on candid camera?”

    I loved that Bill Cosby routine!

    Can’t Moses just cause the sea to spread apart like before?

  34. DevXIII

    DevXIII said, 2 months ago

    “Noah..” “Yeah?” “How long can you tread water?”

    Betcha didn’t expect that reaction, eh, Wiley..?

    But then there are three others ahead of me, so, yeah..

  35. crunkbot

    crunkbot said, 2 months ago

    mistakeskitty: please point to any actual humor and I will gladly enjoy it.

  36. treered

    treered said, 2 months ago

    MsTXKitty, depends on how you define humor (or if one can in the first place). I for one LIKE this one. For me, Wiley always hits his mark; but some days are better than others. ps And how do you spell the “sawing” sound?: “sawing sound”, ding, “WHAT?!?!?!?!?

    “What’s a cubit?’

    okay who left the water running?

  39. invisifan

    invisifanGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    DGooseE: A cubit is 19-20 inches (more or less)

  40. DGooseE

    DGooseEGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    Thanks invisifan, I should have said “whatsa cubit?” I was referencing one of the lines from Cosby’s story of Noah.

  41. michael moore

    michael moore said, 2 months ago

    One cubit equals two henways.

    UshindiGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    My 33 1/3 album has disappeared into the mists of time, but I have ol’ Bill on CD now. Still just as funny as it was all those years ago.

    yyyguy: “Scaramouche”? “The Crimson Pirate”?

    micheal moore, all right I will bite.
    What’s a henway?

  45. Ushindi

    UshindiGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    wndrwrthg: That joke is almost as old as I am - “What’s a henway? About 3 or 4 pounds”. (hen “weigh”)
