Honestly, I had to think a little bit about this one because I've i've heard a lot over the years. um one of my One of my favorites, I'll say, is a ah Bible-based dad joke.01:35.45Wilson HickmanSo it's, um why wasn't Cain able to offer a sacrifice that pleased the Lord?01:43.32Jonathan GuerreroHmm. I definitely haven't heard this one.01:46.15Wilson HickmanBecause he wasn't able.01:50.06Wilson Hickmanah but Yeah, it's that's one of those ones where it's so bad it's good.01:54.72Jonathan GuerreroI love this.01:54.95Wilson Hickmanchuckle.01:55.76Jonathan GuerreroI'm going to save this one. i have a student I have a student that loves to, he's just a little kid, but every time he comes in the classroom, he loves to to share some sort of ah of a Bible joke.02:10.29Jonathan Guerreroand So we always exchange bible exchange Bible jokes.
