The Ten Swiss Commandments
October 27, 2013, 5 Comments
If God were Swiss, what would the Ten Commandments be? How would He decide? First, He would have to discuss things with all His saints, as a Swiss Heaven would be a democracy not a kingdom. Then He would issue his decrees, only to have them put to the people in a referendum.
So the big question is, not just what would the Ten Swiss Commandments be, but which ones would pass the test? Here’s an irreverently light-hearted answer to that, starting with Commandment No 1 shown above:
Thou shalt always be on time.
2. Thou shalt make cheese holey
3. Thou shalt appreciate My natural splendour
4. Thou shalt do nothing on Sunday
5. Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shalt not kill (but shalt sell lethal weapons instead)
7. Thou shalt not take sides (but forever sit on the fence)
8. Thou shalt not steal (except for hiding something from the taxman)
9. Thou shalt vote all the time on everything
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house or wife (or his weak currency)
And when all that fails, just remember to do one thing:

Love it! But shouldn’t there be something about cleaning?
Sally, cleaning is being put to referendum but will pass and be added to the later laws.. Diccon, this really made me laugh and have put it on my FB page! Excellent work for Reformation Sunday! Jeni
#11 Thou shalt make thy family proud and pursue the ‘ Grey Suit/Shadow ( banking & finance ) professions ..
You know strange Swiss people, Martin. Perhaps are you suffering from an overdose of Zurich or Geneva?
Thou shalt never bother a neighbour and make yourself as inconspicuous as possible
