Give the BushCheneySloganator a try: “It’s unpredictable / I
hope you have the time of your life.”
If you’ve heard this joke before (and even if you haven’t), forgive us:
George W. Bush, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso have all died. They arrive at the
Pearly Gates more or less simultaneously.
Einstein is the first to present himself to Saint Peter, who asks him, “Can you prove who you
really are?” Einstein proceeds to describe his general theory of relativity with arcane mathematical
symbols. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really are Einstein! Welcome to heaven!” he says.
Just then Picasso arrives. Saint Peter asks for proof that Picasso is the great artist he’s heard
so much about. Picasso proceeds to sketch out a truly stunning mural of bulls, satyrs and nude
women with a few strokes of chalk. Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist
you claim to be! Come on in!” he says.
They’re still standing at the Pearly Gates when George W. Bush appears. Saint Peter says,
“Einstein and Picasso easily proved their identities. How can you prove yours?” Looking
bewildered, George says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?” Saint Peter shakes his head and smiles.
“Come on in, George.”
