Tinker, having spent every Sunday of my childhood and early adolescence attending church three times, and being forced to spend the remaining hours of the day doing nothing but reading the Bible, I have, I think, a fairly comprehensive knowledge of the Old Testament, so your assertion that "it is important to remember that humor runs through the Old Testament" leaves me perplexed. I don't remember breaking out into a smile once, let alone laughing. ( And I LOVE Jewish humor !) I would be grateful if you would elucidate with one or two examples of the humorous bits.
