Spam!
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:18 amMother Teresa arrives in heaven. God greets her at the Pearly Gates.
"Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?" sayeth God.
"I could eat," Mother Teresa replies.
So God opens a tin of Spam and gets a loaf of Mother's Pride.
While eating her Spam sandwich, Mother Teresa looks down into Hell and sees the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, lobsters, pheasants, pastries and fine wines. Curious, but deeply trusting, she remains quiet.
The next day God again invites her to join him for a meal.
Again, it's Spam sandwiches. Once again, Mother Teresa can see the denizens of Hell enjoying caviare, champagne, lamb, truffles and chocolates. Still she says nothing.
The following day, mealtime arrives and another can of Spam is opened.
She can't contain herself any longer. Meekly, she says: "Lord, I am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led. But here in heaven all I get to eat is Spam sandwiches, and in the Other Place they eat like emperors and kings! I just don't understand..."
God sighs. "Let's be honest," he says.
