Jesus Was Born In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I work at the information desk in a history museum. A flustered-looking guest approaches, dragging a gaggle of children with her.

Guest: “Excuse me. Where are the original Bibles?”

Me: “All our historical Bibles are in the east wing, ma’am.”

Guest: “No, I’ve been there, and they have all these books in Latin and stuff. I need the original Bibles.”

Me: “Well, those are the oldest Bibles we have. You’d have to go to other more famous museums for older manuscripts.”

Guest: “Yeah, but where is the first one written by Jesus?”

Me: “Written… by… Oh, dear.”

Guest: “I need to see the original Bible written in American by Jesus!”

I start looking around for the hidden camera because surely this can’t be real. Thankfully, a coworker jumps in.

Coworker: “Sorry, ma’am, we don’t have any copies of the original American Bibles. You’ll want to go to some of the museums in Salt Lake City for those.”

Guest: “Hmph! They shouldn’t be translating the Bible into all these foreign languages, anyway!”

With that, she trots off with her brood while I just stare at my coworker.

Me: “Oh, my God.”

Coworker: “At least once a month!”
