וַתֹּ֣אמֶר שָׂרָ֔ה צְחֹ֕ק עָ֥שָׂה לִ֖י אֱלֹהִ֑ים כָּל־הַשֹּׁמֵ֖עַ יִֽצְחַק־לִֽי׃
Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter; everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
May God bring you laughter.
Because,
Having invented banana peels,
Ladders with buckets of water teetering on the top,
Also politics, war and late in life children,
God appears to love a good pratfall.
And then there’s that magic comedy number three:
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, those cut ups!
(I snort when I laugh, maybe God thunders?)
Oh and punchlines,
God definitely invented punchlines.
Amen.
