Getting into Heaven
Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates an angel tells
him, “You look like Einstein, but you have no idea the lengths that some people will go to in order 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?”
The angel snaps her fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appears. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his Theory of Relativity.
The angel is suitably impressed, “You really are Einstein!” she says. “Welcome to Heaven!”
The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again the angel asks for credentials.
Picasso asks, “Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?”
The angel says “Go ahead.”
Picasso sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.
“Surely you are the great artist you claim to be” says the angel. “Come on in.”
The angel then looks up and sees George W. Bush. The angel scratches her 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?”
The angel stands aside and says, “OK, George come on in.”
