God's a light-bulb?

But anyway, this is at least the third time I've seen this in less than a year. But it's still very true.

Genesis 22:2-5 - And God said unto Abraham "You must kill your son, Isaac." And Abraham said "What? I can't hear you! You'll have to speak into the microphone." And God said "Check, check, check, check. Jerry, can you pull the high end out. I'm getting some hiss up here."

I am sick to death of all the shouts of 'old newz' and 'not funny, never was, never will be' - some of us do not spend our lives on the Internet and so at times find something we find funny and think it's not been seen before, and, in good spirit, share it with other people. If you've seen it before or don't find it funny, shut up and let other people make more useful comments. The hostility with respect to things being old or seen before on these forums is gettings stupid and needs to stop.
