John's Unexpected Reward

And the lord said unto John, "Come forth and you will receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

Experiment

This is a play on words. Instead of getting eternal life for coming "forth," John gets a toaster for coming in fifth place. It's unexpected and a bit absurd, which is where the humor comes from.

What does that mean

My older brother came up with joke before he served an lds mission like 5 years ago

It means he came fifth in a competition. If he came in fourth he would’ve gotten eternal life but he didn’t

does the comment option work
