Genesis Bible Humor

And God separated
the light from the dark . . .

We are winding down our ‘Bible Bowl’ season, and it is usually at this point that I start to get a little loopy.  By now the kids have memorized so many names, places, and events that I start to look for creative ways to channel our knowledge.  It will be no surprise that humor is my release of choice.
So for all my other friends who are studying the book of Genesis with your children, here is my collection of funnies, in chronological order, for reverence sake:

At what time of the day was Adam created? A little before Eve
Why was Adam a famous runner? Because he was first in the human race

What did Eve ask Adam during their first argument? "Adam, is there another woman?"
Did Eve never have a date with Adam? No, we think it was an apple

Where is baseball mentioned in the bible?
In the big inning (beginning) later Genesis tells us that Eve stole first and Adam stole second
What kind of car is listed in Genesis?Jehovah drove Adam and Eve out of the garden in a Fury
What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why he no longer lived in Eden? Your mother ate us out of house and home

Cain when he killed Abel
What did God say when Noah told him he wanted to build the ark out of bricks?
"No, Noah. Go for wood!" (Gopher wood)
How many animals did Moses take on the Ark? None. Moses didn't go on the ark, Noah did

What kind of lighting did Noah have on the ark? Flood lights

How do we know they didn't play cards in the ark? Because Noah sat on the deck
Why couldn’t they eat apples on the ark? Because they only had pairs (pears)
Where did Noah keep the bees? In the ark hives (archives)

What did the duck say when Noah gave him his lunch?
You can put this lunch on my bill
Why did Noah have to punish the chickens on the Ark? Because they were using "fowl" language
What US state is mentioned in the Genesis?Arkansas "Noah looked out of the ark and saw..."
How many people exited the ark before Noah? Three, because it says "... and Noah went forth"

You know, I looked back once while I was driving . . . . I turned into a telephone pole
Did you know Rebekah had a boyfriend before Isaac? Yeah, the Bible says “Rebekah walked to the well with a pitcher”
Were Joseph's parents cannibals? I don't know... but they did call their daughter Dinah (dinner or diner)

Who was the straightest man in the Bible? Joseph - Pharaoh made a ruler out of him

Where is the first tennis match mentioned in the Bible? When Joseph served in Pharaoh's court
He will direct his children and his household
after him to keep the way of the LORD
