An anonemoose monk sits down with his excellency King Trump for a Jesus talk—
…just a bit of evening humor
a.m. is anonemoose monk };- … KT is of course him };-
a.m. “Do you have a favorite disciple sir?”
KT “I like all my disciples.”
a.m. “Uh no sir I meant one of Jesus’s disciples.”
KT “Oh, well I do like Pilate.”
a.m. “Umm no sir he was a Roman governor.”
KT “Hmm, well what about you? Who’s your favorite?”
a.m. “Ah that’s easy, I like John. His gospel and his letters.”
KT “So he wrote letters?”
a.m. “Yes sir, several disciples wrote letters, probably most or all of them?”
KT “Well who do you think would be my favorite?”
a.m. “Off the top of my antlers, I’d have to say Peter, he was prone to speaking without thinking. But Jesus still loved him.”
KT “Hey what are you getting at?!”
a.m. “Nothing sir, never mind. Let’s move on to the Bible, do you have a favorite book?”
KT “Do you mean besides the Bible? I don’t really read books much.”
a.m. “No sir, I meant a favorite book of the Bible?”
KT “What are you talking about?! The Bible IS a book?!”
a.m. “It’s actually several books in one, sixty-six according to most.”
KT “Oh I get it now, like those chapter titles I’ve heard about.”
a.m. “Okay, chapters then, have a favorite?”
KT “Maybe that King Solomon one?”
a.m. “Ah yes, that kind of figures.”
KT “Yea, a king and his wives.”
a.m. “Uh right, and I’m beginning to think mine is Lamentations?!”
a.m. “What say we talk a little about Jesus himself?”
KT “Okay, that’s good, famous guy huh?!”
a.m. “Well yes I suppose so, but why do you say that?”
KT “My disciples are always talking about him, how he saved them and told them that I was sent by him and his father.”
a.m. “Oh really?! That’s interesting! So what do you think about Christ?”
KT “You mean Jesus again right? That’s his last name, Jesus Christ.”
a.m. “Hmm, I’m not sure…oh never mind sir, I know I’m starting to dip into your tee time, so I’ll just say goodbye, I really have to go read some more in Lamentations.”
KT “Okay, nice chatting with you, but yes gotta stay sharp if I’m gonna keep winning my big tournament.”
Lord, have mercy. But laughter will save us.
