I think Jesus had an amzing sense of humor; doing what he was doing, I think it was indispensible. For starters, look at the guys he picked to help him. Then there's the story of the prostitute taken in the act by a bunch of hypocritical religious types of the day, where Jesus writes stuff in the dirt while challenging their right to judge her. Many believe he had their number and was writing things like "whoremonger" and "liar" at the feet of these guys, and that's why they all backed down. Or the time when Jesus was summonned by a blind guy to help him, and Jesus says "What do you want me to do for you?" A great question and I can't see him saying it without a grin. sb
