    Chicken bones can be dangerous for dogs supposedly. (but only when cooked). So my guess is ‘god’ is taking people out with lightning bolts and ‘dog’ is taking dogs out with raw chicken bones.

    Folly got it right (@1), despite the internal non-sequitur. Chacun a son foudre.

    P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention the dyslexic agnostic insomniac.

    Did you forget? I’m a frayed knot!

    P.P.S. @ mitch4 (@4) - There might be people who haven’t heard the joke already, so here’s the solution: the D.I.A. (@3) stays awake all night … wondering if there is a dog.

    How and why is the dog up there? Does this dog have equal status with God? Is it God’s pet dog? When God throws a lightning bolt does the dog run and fetch it, and then does God yell at the dog and does the dog then panic and hide under God’s car and then the lightning bolt goes off blowing up both the dog and the car?

    This would explain why I occasionally find small bones unconnected to anything else in my back yard. I always just thought it was racoons or opossums getting into someone’s trash, but no, they are like manna from heaven.

    Chicken bones are bad for dogs because they can either get stuck in their digestive system or cut them up from the inside. I forget which. But chocolate is apparently poison to dogs.

    I understood the dyslexic agnostic, but I didn’t understand what insomniac had to do with it.

    Todd @8 - being an insomniac is the reason the D.A. is ‘up all night’. When you can’t sleep your mind tends to wander into all kinds of weird territory.

    Mark @6 - it is not clear that this is the Judeo-Christian god and may in fact be Zeus, who was well known for throwing lightning bolts. The dog is probably his and just wants to get in on the fun.

    @Mark (6): Reminds one of the old theology conundrum, could God create a car so solid in design that even he couldn’t destroy it with a lighting bolt stolen by his dog?

    The dog is obviously the god of dogs, which is different from any gods the humans worship, whether that be the Judeo-Christian version or Zeus.

    Yeah, the lightning-tossing says “Zeus” but doesn’t he look much more like Jahweh? Y’know, like in the old photos if you scroll back in His timeline.

    @ David (9) - I think Todd (@8) was objecting that the joke (@ 3 & 5) includes an “insomniac” that is not relevant to the comic displayed here (it shows a “dog” and a “God”, but neither one is having trouble getting to sleep, unless one assumes that they are counting lightning bolts & bones instead of sheep).

    God’s a lefty!

    You’d think Dog would be the southpaw.

    I’m shocked. But not as much as the people on the ground.
