A Zebra dies and go to Heaven
-
A zebra dies and goes to Heaven. Upon reaching the pearly gates, he sees St. Peter.
SP: Is there anything you would like to know before you enter Heaven?
Z: You know, St. Peter, my whole life I've lived with this burden of never knowing the answer to one question: Am I white with black stripes, or black with white stripes?
SP: Go, my friend, and as the Lord God Himself to give you the answer to that question. He will give you what you need to know.
So the zebra enters into Heaven and makes that his first priority. He trots his way up to God and asks…Z: God, I've always wanted to know my entire life, am I white with black stripes, or black with white stripes?
God calmly sits back in his throne and says:G: You are what you are.
The zebra is taken aback, not knowing what to take from that answer. But St. Peter told him he would get what he needed to know from God...Somewhat disappointed, the Zebra travels back to the pearly gates to ask St. Peter what God meant by his answer. He finally gets there and says...
Z: St. Peter, I took your advice and went to God to ask if I'm white with black stripes, or black with white stripes. His answer only made me more confused...
SP: What did he tell you, my friend?
Z: He simply told me 'You are what you are.'
SP: Well there you have it...
Z: What?! What do you mean?
SP: You are white with black stripes.
Z: What?! How do you know that?
SP: If you were black with white stripes, he would have answered, 'You is what you is.' -
