God went to the Arabs and said, "I have Commandments for        you  that will        make your lives better." 
The        Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?" 
And the        Lord said, "They are rules for living." 
"Can you        give us an example?" 
"Thou        shall not kill." 
"Not        kill? We' re not interested." 
God went        to the Blacks and said, "I have Commandments." 
The        Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Honor thy Father and        Mother." 
"Father?        We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested."       
Then He        went to the Mexicans and said, "I have Commandments."       
The        Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said "Thou shall not        steal." 
"Not        steal? We're not interested." 
Then He        went to the French and said, "I have Commandments."       
The        French too wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shall not        commit        adultery." 
"Not        commit adultery? We're not interested." 
Finally,        He went to the Jews and said, "I have Commandments."       
"Commandments?" they said, "How much are they?" 
"They're        free." 
"We'll        take 10." 
There, that ought to offend just about everybody.
