As retold by Bruce Lowitt

God comes to earth, runs into Jesus and says  "I have a commandment for you."

"What's a commandment?" Jesus asks.

"It's a way of living your life."

"Uhh, well, I'm kind of busy right now. I'm planning this big supper. Maybe later?"

So God visits Buddha and says, "I have a commandment for you?"

"Look," Buddha says, "I'm on this diet and it's making me crazy. Can you come back when my head's screwed on a little better?"

So God visits Moses and says, "I have a commandment for you."

"How much?" Moses asks.

"Free."

And Moses says, "I'll take ten."
