Personally, I saw a very similar version of this joke online before I ever heard the one about falling down steps. Maybe that joke was built off this one. The only part I re-worked was the meeting on a website to stay on subject. Sheesh, I'm confused, I was supposed to be concerned about a bunch of over sensitive sour puss Calvinist whining about the content within my joke?!!

They have banned her from singing "Love Lifted Me" in church on the basis that nothing can lift her.

I would ask for her address, but the Postal Service assigned her a zip code.

To be clear, from my perspective: The joke takes several profound jabs at the issue of personal responsibility before ending with the punch line regarding the Calvinist Pastor’s thinking which was engrossed on pre-destination. Concerning responsibility it also has to do with the pastor being in the position of judgment and that the judge apparently thought that kind of thinking was – yes - crazy...hence, the set up of the joke that he wasn’t going to be seeing his friend ever again. IOWs - the pastor didn’t take personal responsibility even after a hint of the offer of grace coming for repentance and therefore during sentencing he got the book thrown at him.

Further, it is perfectly reasonable that the author had the challenge of setting up the joke concerning responsibility and judgment and needed a crime with motive to do so. The joke was creatively constructed and is humorous because of being meaningful through the elements of truth within it while it addressed the complex problems of deterministic thinking. That some would be offended because of a joke teasing and being derogatory about their position and therefore they would look for reason to attack the content and the one who presented it merely points to them being a bit thin skinned because the jokes on them -or better said, their position.

Whaaa: “That one would think that story is remotely funny is... crazy.”

Whaaaa: “I mean its one thing to joke about the punchline, but to falsify a story about a guy cheating on and then killing his wife takes it a bit too far.”

Whaaaaa: “If I truly had a friend who did such a thing (murder, etc.), it would be no laughing matter- at least not for me.”

I know so…:laugh:
