The Nutcase Friendly Bible - The Tower of Babel

Architect :-  It’s going to be seven hundred storeys high, it’s going to be next to the new university, and we’re going to rent it to students.

Town Planner :-  The top of that thing will be up in the clouds.  Has it got a lightning conductor?

Architect :-  Yes it has.  It’s got several of the very best lightning conductors.

Town Planner :-  What will you do if the lift breaks down?

Architect :-  We’ve got a very advanced lift maintenance team.  They maintain lifts all over the world.  We’ve also got 2 donkeys on the big wheel that moves the ropes up and down.  If one gets tired, the other can take over.

Town Planner :-  Does anyone here know how to do structural beam calculations?

Builder :-  What are those?

Town Planner :-  If that thing’s too weak, it’ll develop a permanent tilt and be leaning over.  The Leaning Tower of Babel.

Builder :-  It’ll be great when it’s finished.  The students will be able to go up on the roof and sun bathe, and while they’re up there they’ll see God, because that’s where God lives, up above the clouds, isn’t it?

Town Planner :-  Speak to me in plain and simple Aramaic, not Double Dutch.

Builder :-  I was speaking Aramaic.

Architect :-  I think God’s confusing our language.

Town Planner :-  What did you say?
