St. Peter and the Shrub

[Liberal Christian]

Apologies if you've seen this already :)

Albert Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, "You look like Einstein, but you have no idea how many people try to sneak into heaven in clever disguises. You'll have to prove to me who you are."

Einstein asks, "Could I have a blackboard and some chalk?"

Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk appear. Einstein proceeds to quickly jot down his equations for his theory of relativity. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You certainly are Einstein!" says Peter energetically. "Enter!"

Then up comes Pablo Picasso. "So," says Peter, "Can you show me that you really are Picasso." Picasso grabs the chalk, erases Einstein's equations and strokes a stunning cubist portrait of the Saint. Peter applauds and lauds, "I see that you are the great Picasso. Though your personal life and the way you treated women was not so great, you can go on in."

Then Peter looks up and a guy steps up in a bomber's jacket with helmet in arm, "I am George W. Bush, President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States, and states you have or may one day develop weapons of mass destruction."
The Saint scratches his head, and says, "Well, Mr. President, Einstein and Picasso had to prove the really were who they said they were, and they did. Can you?"
George says, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?"
Peter says, "Come on in, George."
