>A BIBLE STORY
>
>The Pope dies and, naturally, goes to heaven. He's met by the reception
>committee, and after a whirlwind tour he is told that he can enjoy any
>of the myriad of recreations available.
>
>He decides that he wants to read all of the ancient original text of the
>Holy Scriptures, so he spends the next eon or so learning languages.
>After becoming a linguistic master, he sits down in the library and
>begins to pour over every version of the Bible, working back from most
>recent "Easy Reading" to the original script.
>
>All of a sudden there is a scream in the library. The Angels come
>running in only to find the Pope huddled in his chair, crying to himself
>and muttering, "An 'R'! The scribes left out the 'R'."
>
>A particularly concerned Angel takes him aside, offering comfort, asks
>him what the problem is and what does he mean. After collecting his
>wits, the Pope sobs again, "It's the letter 'R'. They left out the 'R'.
>The word was supposed to be CELEBRATE!"
