Fun with Words: Jesus & The Seven Dwarfs

One day, on their way home from work, the Seven Dwarfs got into a heated argument  about Jesus and his ethnicity. 

Grumpy argued that Jesus was Black:  “He called everyone brother, he liked Gospel, and he didn’t get a fair trial.”

“No way,” said Doc, “Jesus went into His Father’s business; he lived at home until he was 33; he was sure his Mother was a virgin, and . . . his Mother was sure he was God.  He was obviously Jewish.”

Bashful quietly said, “I think Jesus must have been Italian.  He talked with his hands, he drank wine with his meals, and he used a lot of olive oil.”

Grumpy raised an eyebrow and asked, “What makes you think Jesus used a lot of olive oil?” 

Bashful blushed, “Well, he must have.  He always had an olive branch to offer . . .”

Before Grumpy could respond, Dopey grinned and said, “Dudes.  He never cut his hair, he walked around barefoot all the time, and he started his own religion.  He was clearly a Californian.” 

Sleepy gazed through half lowered lids and said, “Jesus was at peace with nature, he ate a lot of fish, and he talked about the Great Spirit.  He was an American Indian.” 

Happy laughed, “You’re all a bunch of muppets!  Jesus never got married, he was always telling stories, and he loved green pastures.  An Irishman, through and through.”

Sneezy sneezed, then said, “Let’s ask Snow White.  She’ll  know.”

After reaching the cottage and recounting their argument to Snow White,  the Seven Dwarfs begged her to settle the issue for them. 

In response, Snow White laughed and said, “Oh, you silly little men.  What an argument to have had with one another the whole way home.”

Doc peered at her over his glasses, “What ever you decide, we agree to be bound by.  That’ll be the end of it.”  All seven nodded.  

Grumpy gruffly asked, “So, Snow, which one of us is right?”

Snow White considered their points, one by one, and then added, ” Jesus fed a crowd at a moment’s notice when there was virtually no food.  He kept trying to get a  message across to twelve men who weren’t listening.  And, even after he died, he had to get up again because there was still work to do.”

With seven pairs of eyes looking on, Snow White smiled, “Sounds like Jesus must have been a woman.”
