God then went to the Bedouins and said, “Will you be my chosen people and accept my commandments?” They replied, “Like what?” God said, “Thou shalt not steal.” They replied “We are a nomadic dessert tribe who ambush caravans. We cannot accept this No thanks.”

Finally God came upon Moses. “Will you be my chosen people and accept my commandments?” Moses replied, “How much do they cost?” “They’re free.” “In that case, I’ll take 10.”
