______________________________________________________________________________
Albert Einstein is walking by the Pearly Gates one day when St. Peter,
in something of a hurry, grabs him.
"Al, my replacement hasn't arrived yet, and I am late for the weekly
staff meeting with the Big Guy. Can you watch the Gates for me?"
Albert responds, "Sure Pete," (They're all very informal in Heaven,
some new Management thing...) "What do I need to do?"
St. Peter walks Albert over to a small pulpit with a large book on it
and begins, "This book contains all the information you need to
question them. Just ask them a few questions to make sure they meet
our standards and let them in."
Albert agrees and St. Peter bustles off to his staff meeting.
While flipping through the book, Albert notices that amongst the
myriad of information listed by each name is the person's IQ. Albert
decides to test each entrant to see if he/she has lived up to their
potential. Just as Albert decides this, a woman walks up. Albert takes
note of her name and her IQ of 190. He begins asking her questions about
Particle Physics, space-time, and the nature of the universe. They
have a wonderful discussion, and Albert lets her in.
As Albert continues to peruse the book, a rather scruffy looking
gentleman in a hard hat approaches. Again, taking note of the man's
IQ of 115, Albert begins his questioning. "Hey, have the cubs won a
series yet?" They continue in this vein, discussing football, Michael
Jordan Jr's career, and the merits of spot welding. After a little
while Albert lets him in as well.
Finally, a rather dim looking individual approaches. Albert looks him
up and notes his IQ of 75. As the man comes up to the pulpit, Albert
brightens and says, "Ah! I've been waiting for you, what can you tell
me about Windows '95?"
