The Pope dies and, naturally, goes to heaven. He's met by the reception
|
|
committee, and after a whirlwind tour is told that he can enjoy any of
|
|
the myriad recreations available. He decides that he wants to read all
|
|
of the ancient original text of the Holy scriptures, and
|
|
spends the next eon or so learning the languages.
|
|
|
|
After becoming a linguistic master, he sits down in the library and
|
|
begins to pour over every version of the Bible, working back from the
|
|
most recent "Easy reading" to the original script. All of a sudden,
|
|
there is a scream in the library. The angels come running to him, only
|
|
to find the Pope huddled in a chair, crying to himself, and muttering,
|
|
"An 'R'! They left out the 'R'."
|
|
|
|
God takes him aside, offering comfort and asks him what the problem is.
|
|
|
|
After collecting his wits, the Pope sobs again, "It's the letter 'R'...
|
|
the word was supposed to be CELEBRATE!"
