The Letter 'R' . . .
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 the ancient original text of the Holy
scriptures, and spends the next eon or so learning the languages.
Several eons past by and after becoming a linguistic master , the Pope
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!"
