Jesus Joke

[piggynose]

Jesus : table for 26, please.
Maite'd : but there's only 13 of you.
Jesus : but we're all going to sit on the same side.
Explain, as I dont get it

Last Supper.

[Jackdaw33]

If there are 13 places on one side it means there are 13 empty places on the other side.

[ummmm]

Think of the picture of The Last Supper.

In fairness some have taken the end positions.

[piggynose]

Still none of the wiser, if I went to same place, and there were 5 of us, wud I ask for a table for 10? Ha ha , not

[Old_Geezer]

Doesn't work so well with this one https://fthmb.tqn.com/jnl-69SXJyRkowXjaVYeygcKhjs=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/about/Duccio_di_Buoninsegna_029-56a108495f9b58eba4b7003e.jpg

[Old_Geezer]

That's the joke.
You are at least better informed ;-)

[elliemay1]

But aren't jokes meant to be funny??

[piggynose]

I await a clear explanation, I wait with baited breath.

[Tilly2]

OG, how come the ones on this side of the table don't have halos?

[elliemay1]

Piggy, if you and 4 friends wanted to sit on the same side of the table then there would be 5 empty places opposite you all. You wouldn't want anyone to sit opposite you as there would be no privacy. Do you get it?

[Mamyalynne]

Piggy, if they had booked a table for 13 then Da Vinci's painting would have had half the party with their backs to the onlooker.

If a joke needs explaining it hasn't worked.

[Old_Geezer]

Couldn't have been part of the inner clique, Tilly. That's why they are the other side.

[ummmm]

Piggy - I can't believe you don't get it.

[jno]

the ones with the halos are Mods.

[Tilly2]

Ah! I see OG. Thanks for that.

Not in the in-crowd then?

[piggynose]

Ummmm. I sort of get it, but its not a joke, its something biblical, as no groups of people sit on 1 side if a table, needs a painting to illustrate it. Bit of a let down

[piggynose]

Just to be picky. If both ends of the table were used, then it'd be a table for 25, surely?

[douglas9401]

If I could be equally picky, best wait with bated breath, unless of course you're a fan of worm-tongue. :)

[piggynose]

i´m not happy with da vinci, you´d think he would have had them sitting around the table, it´s as if it was taken from a selfie, lets face it who sits at the table like that?
