Remember Lenny Bruce's joke about the Jews having killed Christ? "We did it! -- because he wouldn't become a doctor. -- Signed, Morty."

Which, according to the Good Book, is a question rather older than Christianity:
Oh God said to Abraham ’kill me a son’ Abe said ’Man you must be puttin me on’ God said ’no’, Abe said ’what’ God say ’You can do what you wanna but The next time you see me comin you better run’ Well Abe said ’where d’you want this killin done’ God said ’out on Highway 61’
As another Christ-killer put it some time later.
