Be not deceived; God is not mocked:

Well, hey! If God didn't have a sense of humor, then why do we?

Of course God is not mocked by cucumbers, Shalom--God is HONORED!!!

I thought you knew everything about Biblical times, and would appreciate the sacred nature of cucumbers. Did you somehow miss the fact that the Bible tells of the Israelites wandering the desert for forty years bemoaning the lack of cucumbers, one of their favorite vegetables? ("Too Many Tomatoes", Burrows and Myers, 1976)

The cucumber is a very early vegetable, in fact. The Romans always ate cucumbers in their salads, and the Chinese make reference to them as early as 140 BC. The cucumbers known by these people were prickly and warted and curved to the shape of a quarter-moon.
