One day, YHWH summoned Angel Gabriel to the High Table:
YHWH: “Gabriel, why have the angels congregated in the Eastern and Western wings of this palace? Is someone planning a coup?”
Gabriel: “No, Lord. Cain and Abel are offering their burnt sacrifices today. The angels on the Eastern Wing are collecting Cain’s smoke offering, and those on the Western Wing are collecting Abel’s smoke.”
YHWH: “Ah. I love the smoke of burnt offerings. Carry on, then.”
Gabriel: “I’ll bring the collected smoke to you as soon as they are done.”
YHWH: “Excellent. But wait. Why is Cain’s smoke darker than that of Abel?”
Gabriel: “Abel roasted a young goat. But Cain burnt a collection of herbs: hyacinth, pepper, broccoli, cannabis, and seaweed.”
YHWH (Stammering in surprise): “You… are… K..k..kidding. He what?!”
Gabriel: “The angels collecting Cain’s smoke have been sneezing since morning from the pepper smoke. Some are terribly sick from the broccoli smoke. And they all now seem a bit stoned from the cannabis.”
YHWH (Roaring): “Blow away Cain’s smoke from the palace, Gabriel! Right now! What is wrong with that idiot? Who offers pepper and broccoli as a burnt sacrifice? And tell the stoned angels to kill that crazy vibe about Zion and Babylon!”

YHWH’s ways are mysterious. There is no telling how smoke from a barbecue could be collected in his palace. Ha ha.
