The Talmud/YMMV

"When Moses ascended on high, he found the Holy One, blessed be He, tying crowns on the letters (of the Torah). God said to him, "Moses, they don't say hello where you come from?""
 * Badass Decay: Before becoming a Talmudic sage, Reish Lakish was the leader of a bandit gang who could jump over rivers In a Single Bound. A few years after his Heel Face Turn, he tried it again and failed. This isn't necessarily seen as a bad thing, though.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Among others, Shabbat 89a (loosely translated):


 * There was an incident in which a dead body snorted at two men...
 * And the bit in Megillah when, one Purim, a rabbi got too drunk and accidentally killed his friend. He prayed for the man to be revived, and miraculously he was. Then he invited his friend over next year, at which he was told, "You can't count on a miracle every time!"
 * Also, the third page quote on Jews Love to Argue is also pretty hilarious.
 * Squick: The Order of Kodshim, which covers sacrifices, discusses lots of blood and gore. Tractate Chullin in particular is not for the faint of heart; there is an illustrated guide released around 2002 which gives you intimate knowledge of every little tube and organ in a cow's body.
