Bush, Einstein and Picasso at the Pearly Gates
By Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him,
“You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that some people will
go to sneak into Heaven. Can
you prove who you really are?”
Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, “Could I have a blackboard and
some chalk?”
Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appear.
Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his theory of
relativity.
Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really ARE Einstein!” he
says. “Welcome to heaven!”
The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials.
Picasso asks, “Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?”
Saint Peter says, “Go ahead.”
Picasso erases Einstein’s equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with
just a few strokes of chalk.
Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!” he says.
“Come on in!”
Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his
head and says, “Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How
can you prove
yours?”
George W. looks bewildered and says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?”
Saint Peter sighs and says, “Come on in, George.”
