Okay, Sharon.  Here's my experience of God's sense of humor:

When I was in my early 20's, I really really really wanted to get a 
guide dog.  I love animals, and thought it would be cool to have a 
dog be my guide.  Well, around that time, I happened to be reading 
the book of Isaiah.  I'd read through all the "good" (in quotes) 
chapters, and was now on chapter 56.  After reading a few verses, I 
told God, "Lord, this is boring.  It has nothing to do with me!  I 
want to read something that's relevant, like whether or not to get a 
guide dog."  Then I started reading around verse 10:  "Israel's 
watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge;  they are all mute dogs, 
they cannot bark;  they lie around and dream, they love to 
sleep.  They are dogs with mighty appetites;  they never have 
enough."  I stopped there, right in the middle of verse 11 and kind 
of half-chuckled, figuring it was just an amusing coincidence.  Then 
deciding to take advantage of the situation and pray about it, I 
said, "Well, Lord, I've heard German shepherds are pretty intelligent 
dogs."  Then I started to read again.  The very next words say, "They 
are shepherds who lack understanding;  they all turn to their own 
way, each seeks his own gain."  (Honest, this really happened;  I'm 
not making this up.  And I knew nothing about that particular 
scripture passage before this!)  I don't think God was expressing His 
opinion of guide dogs, but rather telling me specifically that I 
shouldn't get one.  And as it turns out, for the particular life 
style I have, a guide dog wouldn't be the best choice, although I'll 
never say never to that option.  <grin>  But I'm always amused how 
God got back at me for saying the scripture I was reading was boring, 
and asking for something about whether or not to get a guide dog.  <grin>
