The Ten Commandments

[StevenMerten]

I was at a celibration. The wine was flowing. I am Catholic, we see it as ok to have a few, like Jesus at Cana. Anyway, there was a woman there, and she was challenging anyone to recite the Ten Commandments. No one could do it. People were laughing at how no one even knew the Ten Commandments. I stepped up and recited the Ten Commandments to those listening.

A woman came up and challenged me. She said that that I was lying. What? She said that originaly there were 15 commandments. But when Moses was running down the mountain, he droped one of the three stone tablets, of the 15 commandments. So she claimed that I actually did not list all of God's Commandments. No one can recite all the commandments, she said, because we do not know the five commandments that were lost on the broken tablet.

I tried to explain to her that she was confusing a Woody Allen movie with the bible.

:facepalm!:

This is funny and it's not. It would be funnier IF so many people who should know better, could differentiate between reality and 'fiction' - usually television or movies.

It was amusing but where is this thread supposed to go, are we to tell jokes or get serious?

Hello Sparow,
I don't know. I thought it fit. I have laughed my whole life, well three decades, remembering this instance. I mean this person was so serious that I had errored. They were so sure that, originally, there were 15 commandments. Maybe you had to be there. It was comical and sad at the same time.
