The part that sounded funny to me was when he mentioned Hana, the goat in one of his martial arts place of practice. He said she doesn't eat anything, but selects what she eats that nourishes her body. Wow! It sounded funny when he compared her to other goats, and all the more funny when I compared her to the goats in my previous residence that eat anything, toothpaste pack, papers, even slippers. LOL. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Once, the author had escaped unscathed by muggers without raising a single finger. His friends even refused to believe him. I found it quite amusing in a jaded kind of way. Also, when I imagine the muggers face, I can't help but find it funny.

Yup, it was funny. I like the way the author uses to example to show that everyone should eat according to their body's wants.

I agree 100% with the goat one! It reminded me of the goats my aunt use to have on her farm and I caught myself thinking how different they were. Those sucks ate anything they could get ahold of that they weren't suppose to eat! It use to frustrate my aunt like crazy, so of course I found it hilarious.

The part where he saved himself from being mugged. It was amusing how he turned such a dangerous situation into something that must have been unexpected for the muggers.

I loved in the beginning when he mentioned that he was "invited" to attend a religious study and that he and all the other kids thought they would go to hell if they didn't attend. His writing is full of wit.

That goat story was hilarious. One of the reasons I enjoy the book was because of his sense of humor.

I was also amused by the part about the goat, knowing from experience that most goats will eat anything and everything in sight.

The goat part is very relatable and hilarious. If you have ever own or keep goats, you will know they can eat just about any food...lol

Finding the bones of jesus was quite amusing. And the strange part is that he didn't illustrate how this had any bearing at all in the overall result of his conversion to the new belief system.
