+'''Bible Stories''' is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series [[Somewhere Out There]]. It was originally broadcast on July 20, [[:Category:1997|1997]].
+== Synopsis ==
+This episode is all re-used content, from 'God only knows', 'Prayer',
+'A natural disaster', and 'Bible salesman'.
+Joe gives his account of the story of Joseph, father of Jesus, that
+Mary is bright and witty while Joseph is hesitant and withdrawn; he
+feels that Mary betrayed him with God.  He becomes a drunk and a
+tramp.  Joseph resents Jesus's success, suspects his 'miracles' are
+tricks, is secretly happy at the crucifixion.<ref name=knows>originally aired in [[God Only Knows]].</ref>
-== Synopsis ==
+:50: A crazy preacher (prankster [[David Franks]]) calls up a woman,
-Joseph as a resentful father.  Prank telephone spirit and prayer calls.  First person account of Adam and Eve.  Same material as Bible Salesman- ( Being tied to a stake on a raft drifting down a river in a surrealist jungle.  An elderly woman as a pinata, a wedding party that ends in bloodshed.  Unquenchable crying in a therapist's office.  Finding the Roman catacombs behind a door and meeting Jesus in water skis. The search for enlightenment.)  Preachers speak: the burden in an elevator, etc.
+wants to conduct a séance at her house that night.<ref name=prayer>originally aired in [[Prayer]]</ref>
+:00: Joe tells of Adam & Eve from Adam's point-of-view.<ref name=knows />
+:50: Crazy preacher (David Franks) calls person (sounds like
+a woman to me; preacher addresses him/her as 'brother'), leads him/her
+in a crazy prayer ('Clytemnestra's daughter ... African Eurasian tiger
+pussycat'...).<ref>originally  aired in [[A Natural Disaster]], also used in [[Prayer]]</ref>
-== Interesting Facts ==
+:20: 'I was on a raft, tied to a stake, drifting down the
+river...' Joe gives an account of surreal trip down the river; he sees
+hippos both in the river and sunning themselves on the shore, cutting
+a birthday cake made of tires.  He sees kids hitting a piñata that
+looks like an old woman.  He sees a newlywed couple coming out of a
+church; their car drives onto the sidewalk, running people over.  A
+crowd stops the car, beats them, hangs them from lamp posts.  Then they
+all laugh about it, bury the people they killed.  He sees Jesus on
+waterskis, pulled by a fat man in a rowboat.  Joe says he told this
+dream to his analyst.  Joe walks into her closet, finds stairs that
+take him to the catacombs beneath Rome.  He sees Jesus, still on his
+waterskis.<ref name=biblesales>originally aired in [[Bible Salesman]]</ref>
+:00: Joe must find peace, speculates on odd places where he
+could find it.<ref name=biblesales />
-== Commentary ==
+:10: Random people praying; joefrank.com in 2013 reads, 'We
-{{commentary}}
+hear a series of religious Dial-a-Prayers.' - it sounds like it.<ref name=prayer />
