This joke submitted by KenWritez:
A Sunday school teacher was talking about Jesus to the kids. "Bobby, where is Jesus?" she asked.
"Jesus is in heaven," replied Bobby.
"Very good!" said the teacher.
She then asked a little girl, "Where is Jesus, Emily?"
"Jesus is in my heart!"
The teacher beamed at little Emily and said, "How sweet!"
The teacher now asked Timmy, "Timmy, where is Jesus?"
"Jesus is in my bathroom," he said.
"How do you know, Timmy?" the teacher said.
Timmy replied, "Every morning my dad gets up, bangs on the bathroom door and yells, 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?'"

Sorry, yawn from me.
Perhaps that's because I'm in a house of very quick people. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
[great idea for a competition / board, BTW! I was quite shocked when I thought I selected Eccles to see only three threads!]

Ian, you may just as well have written my ENTIRE post for me as I agree with everything you have just written! How's that for religious agreement brought on by a tired joke!

Found this joke quite funny -- it's new to me.
This joke plays on the concrete thinking of children (one wonders if a child might find it offensive on that account).
I don't find it offensive, though a figurative reading of the father's question might be frowned upon by anyone not wanting to take the Lord's name in vain.

The punchline was too predictable.
Anyone who has danced/clutched themselves/otherwise been frantic outside the door of the only bathroom in a house with lots of people (especially teens) will identify a bit too much with the swearing father.
Anyone who has only experienced the luxury of multiple bathrooms won't truly comprehend why this situation justified swearing.
Nope. Loser joke.

Maybe I have a fairly high tolerance for the blasphemous and a low tolerance for bad jokes...

And here, too.
Isn't the point of The Laugh Judgement that some religious jokes are commented and voted on?
Please may we have some jokes so that we can get started?
Many thanks.

Perhaps adding "It's the way I tell 'em!" would help?

I think this joke was old when Rome was young. I suppose I don't find it especially funny because it's so tired.

I think that this one was cute, not really funny, but enough to make me smile.
Not offensive, not hysterical, but cute.

It got a grunt from me. Prolly because I remember hearing it 30 odd years ago when I laughed. 'Jesus Christ' was considered naughty then, so it had that going for it.

Not funny or offensive because there's no subtlety in the way it's phrased.
