You'll find the bible has some ironic humor in it in various passages. One particular scripture is in reference to Stephen, the first Martyr. The men who were about to accuse him of slandering God, were from a Church titled "Freedmen." It also has in parenthesis(So they were called) next to the name of the Church. Funny and Ironic at the same time..

How about how Isaac effected Rebekah to the point she needed a smoke:

Gen 24:36-And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

and I heard one about Abraham tying his ass to a tree and walking three miles.

(stretchy skin miracle?)

(with a little imagination it's supposed to be derived from from Gen. 22:5, I think)
