\nGeorge W. Bush, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso have all died. They arrive at the
\nPearly Gates more or less simultaneously. <\/P>

Einstein is the first to present himself to Saint Peter, who asks him, “Can you prove who you
\nreally are?” Einstein proceeds to describe his general theory of relativity with arcane mathematical
\nsymbols. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really are Einstein! Welcome to heaven!” he says.

Just then Picasso arrives. Saint Peter asks for proof that Picasso is the great artist he’s heard
\nso much about. Picasso proceeds to sketch out a truly stunning mural of bulls, satyrs and nude
\nwomen with a few strokes of chalk. Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist
\nyou claim to be! Come on in!” he says.<\/P>

They’re still standing at the Pearly Gates when George W. Bush appears. Saint Peter says,
\n“Einstein and Picasso easily proved their identities. How can you prove yours?” Looking
\nbewildered, George says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?” Saint Peter shakes his head and smiles.
