Moses at the Burning Bush

From our Humor Department:

“You, Moses, heed Me.”

Moses stared at the burning bush and thought: Okay, a bush on fire but does not burn up. – A talking burning bush.  Check.

“I have good news, and bad news.”

Moses is beginning to have a bad feeling about this.

“You, Moses, will lead the people of Israel out from bondage. If the Pharaoh refuses to release them I will smote Egypt with a rain of frogs.”

“Frog legs are a gourmet specialty,” Moses thinks.  He ponders the implications of that.

“You, Moses, will lead the people of Israel to the promised land. If the pharaoh blocks your way I will smote Egypt with a plague of locusts.”

Now that’s more like it.  The Egyptians won’t like that at all.

“If the Pharaoh’s army pursues you, I will part the waters of the Red Sea to open your path to the promised land.”

Moses is stunned. He stammers, “That’s, that’s fantastic, I can’t believe it!”  Then he shudders.  “How bad is the bad news?”

“You, Moses, must write the Environmental Impact Statement.”
