Higher?

Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, Barack Obama meets a man with a beard.  'Are you Mohammed?' he asks.  'No my son, I am St.  Peter; Mohammed is higher up.'  Peter then points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

 

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than St. Peter, Obama climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs up through the clouds and comes into a room where he meets another bearded man.  He asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?'  'Why no,' he answers, ‘I am Moses; Mohammed is higher still.'

 

Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he climbs the ladder yet again, he discovers a larger room where he meets  an angelic looking man with a beard.  Full of hope, he asks again, 'Are you Mohammed?'    'No, I am Jesus, the Christ; you will find Mohammed higher up.'

 

Mohammed higher than Jesus!  Man, oh man!  Obama can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs ever higher.  Once again, he reaches an even larger  room where he meets this truly magnificent looking man with a silver white  beard and once again repeats his question:  'Are you Mohammed?' he  gasps as he is by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.   'No, my son, I am Almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega, but you look exhausted.  Would you like a cup of coffee?'

 

Obama says, ‘yes please!'  As God looks behind him, he claps his hands and yells out:  'Hey, Mohammed, two coffees!'

 

Keep your trust in God; your president will be replaced.
