Funniest Verse in the Bible

We Christians sometimes ask one another our favorite Bible verses. John 3:16 and several other crucial passages always are among the responses. The 23rd Psalm -- sometimes simply the first verse of it -- typically receives a mention.

No one ever asks me what I consider the funniest verse in the Bible, so I’ll tell you. Actually, it’s a matter of translation. Proverbs 17:12, as stated in the Good News Bible (TEV), reads: “It is better to meet a mother bear robbed of her cubs than to meet some fool busy with a stupid project.” (It loses the comic imagery in other versions.)

Probably the reason I remember it is that it reminds me so much of me.
