MORIAH, AM 2066\u2014Admitting that he had been \u201cpunked big time,\u201d Abraham was forced to concede today that God had emerged the clear winner of the pair\u2019s annual April Fool’s tradition.<\/p>\n
The prank began a few days before April 1. God approached Abraham and told him he\u2019d have to make a burnt offering of his son, Isaac. \u201cHe didn\u2019t suspect a thing,\u201d said God. \u201cDidn\u2019t question it, just plopped him on a donkey and headed off to Moriah. I thought making him go to Moriah for it would be funny. LOL.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d built the altar, tied him up, everything,\u201d Abraham told the Dealer<\/i>. \u201cI was just about to slaughter him, just about to. When He jumped out of that cloud\u2014instant classic. Once Isaac and I realized what had just been pulled on us, man, we just about died laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n
God said that He had wanted to get back at Abraham after last year\u2019s prank. \u201cThat fifty mina of gold that turned out to be painted stones\u2014I knew I had to go big if I was going to top that. I think it\u2019s safe to say I pulled it off.\u201d<\/p>\n
In keeping with their tradition, Abraham will now have to pay for the burgers at their annual Memorial Day Block Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
