Looking for work, Jesus goes to the local job centre.
"Ok, Mr Christ", says the assistant, after typing in his details, "There
are two jobs that come up for your spec. One's a carpenter in Jerusalem at
£2,000 per week; the other a carpenter in Aberdeen for £200 a week."
And lo, the Son of God did speak: " I'll take the one in Aberdeen,
cheers."
The assistant is surprise. "Why? You'd get far more money in the other
job."
"I know," Jesus spake thus. "But the last time I worked in Jerusalem I got
hammered with tax."
