Stupid is as Stupid does
George W. Bush, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso have all died. Strangely, all
three arrive at the Pearly Gates at the same time even though their deaths have
taken place decades apart.
The first to present himself to Saint Peter is
Einstein. Saint Peter questions him. "You look like Einstein, but you have NO
idea the lengths certain people will go to to sneak into Heaven under false
pretenses. 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
complies with a snap of his fingers. The blackboard and chalk instantly appear.
Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his special
theory of relativity.
Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You really
*are* Einstein! Welcome to heaven!" The next to step up is Picasso. Once again
Saint Peter asks for his credentials.
Picasso doesn't hesitate. "Mind if
I use that blackboard and chalk?"
Saint Peter says, "Sure, go ahead."
Picasso erases Einstein's scribbles and proceeds to sketch out a truly stunning
mural... bulls, satyrs, nude women, etc. He captures their essences with but a
few strokes of the chalk.
Saint Peter claps. "Surely you are the great
artist you claim to be! Come on in!" The last to present himself is George W.
Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head. "Einstein and Picasso both managed to
prove their identity. How can you prove yours?"
George W. looks
bewildered, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?"
Saint Peter sighs... "Come
on in, George."
