Don't tell me God doesn't have a sense of Humor

I've always been amused by the story in Luke 24 re: the Risen Jesus and the disciples on the way to Emmaus. Firstly, because I've always wondered what Jesus was doing hiking to the podunk town of Emmaus to begin with, and secondly his exchange with said disciples.

Essentially -

Jesus: So, anything new happening in town?
Cleophas: Geez, man, what have you been living under a ROCK or something?

Jesus HAD to have been laughing inside when he said that.

It's not a quality to scriptures directly attribute to Jesus, but I think the speakers we are often most attracted most often make their "points" with humor. I'm not saying Jesus was a stand up comedian by any means, but I think he had this human attribute.

I also like his exchange with the Samaritan woman. He knew darn well he was going to grant her request beforehand, but essentially, "Why should I give food to you dogs in preference to the choosen people?" And she said that the children fed the food to the dogs under the table. I can see him laughing and saying "Okay."

Miriam: Hey, is that a new bureau?

Ruth: It SURE is, we love it.

Esther: Well, I suppose for around here it's nice, but WE have a Jesus original over at our house. So clever, even at 15. And he gave our son, Mordecai, his entire tool set as a wedding present at Cana.

Miriam: Oh, that Sheraton bureau? Isn't that the one where the drawers stick a bit?

Esther: No dear, you must have us confused with the Finklesteins.

Ruth: Bowl of milk for you two?
