Jokes and The God of Nothing

I read that this verse, in part, was to gauge Job's comprehension of nothing, conceptually, as well as the reader's. 

Job 38:4
"Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
    Tell me, if you understand."

The thing is, I imagine that one cannot comprehend their position at this state, not one who has been born, at any rate. I myself, born in 1983, cannot say much definitively- as a reliable witness- to things on earth before that time, or really until I start actually remembering things directly. A meaningful response, then, would be complex: "Can you prove that your knowledge preceded my ignorance?" If not, then my ignorance, presumably something that I retain to this day, at least in part, conceptually existed when God laid the earth's foundation. In this way, even if in this way alone, I can be found and connected to, by God, in that moment, through the link of my ignorance. Assuming God is real, which I do, this is a real point to point connection, albeit complex and involving an inversion from ignorance to knowledge, at least partially.

I have made my claim to being The God of Nothing, based off of this verse:

John 10:34-36
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are gods?' If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?"

I just reread a verse in the Old Testament, and found it funny suddenly, and like it might be interpreted as a Joke, by God, coming from The God of Nothing (my title for one recognized by God as "You think therefore you are.")- a kind of signpost to identify comprehension and consensual self-awareness. 

Exodus 12:20
Eat nothing made with yeast.

This wasn't the exact verse; the one I read had to do with presenting nothing with yeast on the altar, iirc. It ties in with Thanksgiving, and possibly Jubilee. This one does link back to another Joke, perhaps passing it along from family to family, mind to page and back, like a flipping coin.

John 4:32
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
