It's the letter 'R'
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!"
Noah opens up the ark and let all the animals out, telling
them to "Go forth and multiply." He's closing the
great
doors of the ark when he notices that there are two snakes sitting
in a dark corner.
So he says to them, "Didn't you hear me? You can go now.
Go forth and multiply."
"We can't," said the snakes, "We're adders."
A cop pulls over a guy.
"Your eyes are awfully red. Have you been drinking?"
"Gee, officer," the man says. "Your eyes are awfully glazed
-- have you been eating doughnuts?"
