Just heard this one...
George W. Bush, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso all die. Due to a
glitch in the mundane/celestial time-space continuum, all three arrive at
the Pearly Gates more or less simultaneously, 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 arrive 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, "Go ahead," Picasso erases Einstein's scribbles
and proceeds to sketch out a truly stunning mural. Bulls, satyrs, nude
women: 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 arrive 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."
