Okay I need to know what's with the jesus laughing thing?

  Hahaha! Right?! The Bible says twice that Jesus wept and nowhere does it say he laughed. I think some people have in mind that Jesus was mostly dour and stern, even morose. Whether he had a sense of humor and how he might have expressed it is a fascinating question for me. I think some of the things he said and taught might have a tinge of humor to them. Like when he called Peter a Rock, was that him ribbing Peter that he was a bit of a blockhead? I wonder what things he said that got people chuckling and guffawing. Maybe one day I’ll write a book. I am sitting on didjesuslaugh.com. :-) Interestingly there is some scholarship on this question. I myself would probably write for a popular audience though, maybe with a bibliography in the back.
