Seems kind of strange, but they said, ''Okay God, You're God.'' So they start up and God starts telling jokes and God can tell some good jokes. And they start and after step forty-two, the redhead just bursts out laughing. She's disqualified. So they walk a little more. They get on step two hundred - the brunette just starts cracking up. She's disqualified. They get to step nine hundred and ninety-nine and the blonde just starts cra ...
