George W. Bush, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso have all died. Due to a glitch in the celestial time-space continuum, all three arrive at the Pearly Gates more or less simultaneously, even though their deaths have taken place decades apart. The first to present himself to Saint Peter is Einstein. Saint Peter says “Can you prove who you really are?” Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his general theory of relativity. Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really are Einstein! Welcome to heaven!”
Just then Picasso arrives. Saint Peter asks for proof Picasso is Picasso who then proceeds to sketch out a truly stunning mural. Bulls, satyrs, nude women: he captures their essences with but a few strokes of the chalk. Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist you claim to be! Come on in!”
The three are standing there as George W. Bush appears. Saint Peter says “Einstein and Picasso easily proved their identity. How can you prove yours?” George W. gave a bewildered look and said “Who are Einstein and Picasso?” Saint Peter said “Come on in, George.”
