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.' St. 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... 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..?' '
Yes ! Please !'
As God looks behind him, he claps his hands and yells out:
'Hey Mohammed-- two coffees !'''
Keep your trust in God ....... your government has let you down.
