Dear Abby 6
Dear Abby,
Our son writes from school that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own ?

If anyone has read "Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore, this joke is done much better there... but it requires many many pages of setup. Go read it.

And don't read "The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror" until you've read all of his books published prior to that one.

I don't get this joke, and I've never heard of the bok, but it sounds interesting.
Can someone explain the joke?
