Has anyone heard this joke before?

“God was once approached by a scientist who said, “Listen God, we’ve decided we don’t need you anymore. These days we can clone people, transplant organs and do all sorts of things that used to be considered miraculous.”

God replied, “Don’t need me huh? How about we put your theory to the test. Why don’t we have a competition to see who can make a human being, say, a male human being.”

The scientist agrees, so God declares they should do it like he did in the good old days when he created Adam.

“Fine” says the scientist as he bends down to scoop up a handful of dirt.”

“Whoa!” says God, shaking his head in disapproval. “Not so fast. Make your own dirt.”

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

There was only one instance where I can remember my father being affectionate toward me.  I was very young, 6 or 7 or 8.  It was in the evening, and my dad, sister, and I were watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Even though it was supposed to be a kids movie, i remember crying my eyes out when the fat kid got stuck in one of the tubes.  I tried hiding my tears by turning away and burying my little face into a couch pillow.   I remember my dad coming over to me, and asking me what was wrong.  I just felt sorry for the fat kid who was crying because he was stuck in the tube.
