Holy Week: It's Wednesday, Who's There?

Yesterday, we spoke about how Jeebus was a bit of a prankster and jokester.

Well, have I got some news for you!!

Back in 1999, while trying to bury what was left of my self-esteem in the backyard of my “soon to be handed over to the ex” estate:


Something HUGE Happened…

I discovered an ancient religious text buried beneath several inches of dirt, dead grubs, and three empty bottles of Bagwine.

This my friends, forever changed my life.

Much like the Book of Menus, that I mentioned yesterday, this was quite the find.

This ancient book reveals that our boy Jeebus, was on the cutting edge of comedy, and the inventor of the Knock-Knock joke.

From what I have heard through the word of God, he came up with them on the Wednesday prior to his crucifixion.

While most of his jocularity has been lost, my fortuitous dig turned up the lost Knock-Knock jokes of Jeebus Christ.

This text, which was labeled, The Book of Rodney, was full of these gems, and comprises the first book of what I call, The Knockstic Gospels.

I also found a series of unmarked one-liners by Jeebus, that I have called, the Book of Henny. More on that at a later date.

The Book of Rodney contains the following…

Father, the Pharisees show me no respect. (Rodney 1: 1)

I walked into the Temple, and the Moneychangers said unto me, “You are so ugly; you would have to sneak up on a glass of Holy Water.” (Rodney 1: 7-8)

I’m a bad lover. Once, I caught a Peeping Thomas booing. He also doubted me. (Rodney 3: 14)

We then get into a few of his Knock-Knock jokes…

Knock-Knock. Who’s There? Jew. Jew Who? Dry Your Yiddish Tears You Big Ninny. (Rodney 5: 17-18)

Knock-Knock. Who’s There? Judas. Judas Who? Judas See Who Kissed Me? (Rodney 13: 28)

And my favorite…

Knock-Knock. Who’s There? Noah. Noah Who? Noah good Doctor who could sew up the holes in my hands? (Rodney 11: 22-24)

What a Holy Laugh Riot the Holy Baby Jeebus turned out to be…You RAWK Jay-Cee!!

There’s also a funny story about Holy Wednesday that is relayed to us in the Book of Rodney

And thusly, the Apostles awoke on the mid week day. There was a ruckus. Bartholomew asked, “What the Hell is going on?”

Matthew spaketh, “Jeebus is plowing Mary Magdalene’s Garden of Eden.”

Thaddeus answered…

“I hope Jeebus’ snake doesn’t get charred by her Burning Bush.”


Jeebus emerged from the den, and spoke,"Mary and I were happy for twenty years...and then we met. Bada Bing, I'll be here til Friday!!"

Jeebus, all 12 Apostles, and a butt-nekkid Mary laughed their Holy asses off. (Rodney 7: 10-17)

And that my friends, is what transpired on Holy Wednesday.


I hope to see you all tomorrow for a special Easter edition of Half Nekkid Holy Thursday.

Cheers!!

They never taught just how damn funny all these people were when I was in Sunday School. Our teachers acted like this was all serious stuff. How boring is that?

Jay: I know. Everyone emphasizes the smiting, the murdering, and the slavery. Pffft. Well, not on my religious history watch. Cheers!!

So far, Holy Week has been my favorite.

I absolutely love that saying, "Smiling's my favorite!" from Elf. It's just sooo right.

Let me see if I can come up with one. I am on my first cup of coffee and it's 4:30 a.m.

Knock Knock.
Who's there?
Mary.
Who the fuck?
Your mother, you fucktard.

Schmoop said...

Abs: Smiling's My Favorite, too. Well, aren't you a regular Absurdist Dice Clay!! Cheers!!

Dana said...

Holy week has been a riot! I'm not sure if it's your writing niche, or a form of delirium tremors from the lack of meat. Ah, who cares! It's fun!!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Thanks. I'd like to say that it's a divinely inspired niche, but it's the lack of meat. Oh yeah, it's the lack of meat. Cheers!!

The Mountain Cat said...

Good Friday rocks! I am going to have a cheeseburger and burn in hell!

Schmoop said...

Mt. Cat: A cheeseburger, huh? That's just great. I'll be eating beans. Enjoy the hell out of it. Cheers!!

The Ferryman said...

Do you still have those dead grubs. I collect them.

I can see why people like hobbies.

Schmoop said...

Mr. Fab: Of course not, I ate them. Cheers!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Did he appear at Catch Me Before I Rise(ing) Star?

Sparky Duck said...

The hands joke is going to get someone excommunicated

Anonymous said...

I can see why the book was lifechanging...

Can't wait for Half Nekkid Holy Tuesday!!!

Schmoop said...

Bond: I dunno, but he did spend the days of Pentecost playing the Julius Caesar Lounge abord the Aegean Princess Cruise Barge. Cheers!!

Sparky: It's hard to get excommunicated from my own Church. Cheers!!

DB: It was...HNT will be a lifechanging experience as well. Cheers!!

Odat said...

Is that where Knocking on Heavens Door came from?
Did he knock up Mary too? You knock me out!
Peace

RW said...

I think the Mormons have a similar book.

Schmoop said...

Odat: Thanks...Now, knock it off. Cheers Odat!!

Roger: And see where that impotent text got Mitt Romney? Cheers!!

Lex Valentine said...

Snake in the burning bush... classic! Once again you have breathed life into the death that is religion. (Setting you up for a mouth to mouth quip there.) I can't wait for Half Nekkid Thursday either!

Schmoop said...

Winter: Dammit...When you put me on the spot like that my "soul" shrivels up.

My HNT will be the best Easter experience ever. Cheers Winter!!

Jeff B said...

Dear God,

Please don't let Matt show us his "cave" for HNT Easter addition!

Sandee said...

I'm laughing my ass off, but my ass isn't holy. Bwahahahahahahaha. Excellent. Have a great day Matt-Man. :)

Lu' said...

as always Matt :)

Schmoop said...

Jeff: Keep in mind, God Doesn't answer every prayer. Cheers!!

Sandee: Glad I could assist in removing your ass. Cheers!!

Lu: Why thanks. Have a great day. Cheers!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Hah. Jeebus knock-knock jokes from the Book of Rodney. You are THE MAN!

Don't forget the secret torn-out page from that book that was later taken to the Hall of Amazing Treasures and is awaiting discovery in the we-cannot-stop-from-being-made third National Treasure movie coming soon. I believe one of the jokes was:
"Knock, knock. Who's there? Job. Job Who? Job mamma! (which of course traces back to the very first 'your mamma'joke...that Jeebus, he was such an innovator).

Schmoop said...

VE: Ha...Poor Job can't ever catch a break.

Y'know, to this day, I still get a hateful Easter card from Geraldo Riviera because my backyard yielded so much more than his discovery of Al Capone's secret vault. Cheers!!
