If it was a long time ago, that would be me. But it's been while since I told that joke.

Thanks! You're probably the source, although I thought I had seen it in the past week or so.

Improper retelling.

Joke's correct format is:

Q: Why did Jesus die on the cross?
A: Because he forgot the safe word.


(because the crucifixion would have been fine - but he DIED because it went too far. Therefore this is the right way to tell the joke, the other way doesn't make as much sense.)

I said that once in a post in which I was celebrating my conversion to Judaism as being "par for the course", my being ethnically derived via the Romans who hammered in them there nails.
But you might not have read that post - I tend to ramble.
