What Did Jesus Do For "Shits & Giggles"?

Based on my experience, the most intelligent people can, and often are, the funniest, most fun-loving people to hang around.  If you enjoy stand-up comedy, you'll most likely agree with me on this.  For successful stand-up comedy takes immense intelligence to execute well.

And no matter your stance on the historical Jesus (as documented in the Bible), whether you're convinced he was a heretic, a madman or God in the flesh, he was no doubt, hands down one intelligent leader.

One of the most chronicled attributes of this man was his penchant for storytelling (parables).  These seemed to flow out of him with ease.  Storytellers are intrinsically fun to relate to / get to know.

All of this leads us to the question I posed within this blog post title.

-------------------------

Firstly, what exactly is "shits & giggles" and should Christian men be so inclined to participate as such?

I really enjoy learning about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  As such, I screened this documentary earlier this week:

Now, if you know anything about Mormons, you know that they're likely the most selfless, humble people on Earth.  These attributes are mainstays for them.  So much so, in fact, that they're also - across the board - a fairly derivative lot.  I mean, just look at the Mormon uniform that their young male missionaries wear - across the world.  Derivative.

If you watch the aforementioned documentary to its completion, you'll see a portion of it focusing on a group of young Mormon (missionary) men posing as calendar pinups.  As such, a minor scandal ensues, and the grounds for said scandal points back to the expected / identifier selfless / humbleness attributes I referenced above.

But, no doubt, they took part in this stunt for two reasons.  One was $$$ and the other was shits & giggles.  Because everyone knows that Mormons typically have an eye for the former (most of them are quite blessed with material wealth) and very little (if any) of the latter.

------------------------

Jesus talked specifically about avoiding "making your brother stumble".  As such, he obligated us to our fellow man's spiritual walk.  Therefore, if we're negatively influential in regards to our brother's decision to sin, we're responsible for our decision to impact them thusly.

And this expected empathy / "sphere of influence" influence speaks also to the need / mandate for sharp intelligence as a Christ follower.  

Therefore, the answer to the question I've posed (within the blog post) is as follows.

We're not privy to his exact activity, but we do know that whatever Jesus did do in this regard, it wasn't done sans putting some thought into how it might impact those around him (for better or worse).  For Jesus was fully man and fully God - all at once.  And, of course, sinless.
