Zebra in Heaven
A zebra dies goes to heaven. When checking in, he tells St. Peter:
- Say, I have always wanted to know if I am white with black stripes or black with white stripes.
St. Peter:
- I can't answer that question...but see God walking around over there? Ask him. - Zebra to God:
- God, am I white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
God looks at the zebra sagely and states:
- You are what you are.
Frustrated, the zebra returns to St. Peter.
- What did He say - asks S.P.
- Oh - replies the zebra:
- He just said, 'You are what you are,' and I still don't know whether I'm black with white stripes or white with black stripes.
- Oh, that's easy - says S.P.:
- You are white with black stripes.
- How do you know? - asks the zebra:
- Well - says S.P.:
- if you were black with white stripes he would have said 'you is what you is.'
