Just received this email from a friend. I am still LMAO. If it to offensive please report to Charles so he can delete.

A Moslem has died and has arrived in Heaven. He is very excited as, all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed.

Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.

‘Are you Mohammed?’ he asks

‘No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammed is higher up’.

And he points him to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbed the ladder in great strides.

He meets another bearded man.

Full of hope, he asks again, ‘Are you Mohammed?’

‘No, I am Jesus. Mohammed is higher up still’. Mohammed higher than Jesus! The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher.

Once again, he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:

‘Are you Mohammed?’

‘No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still.’ Exhausted but with heart full of joy, he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he meets a man with a beard.

‘Are you Mohammed?’ he gasps, as he is by now totally out of breath from all his climbing.

‘No, my son. I am God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a

coffee?’

‘Yes please, my Lord’

God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:

‘Mohammed, two coffees please.’

Eric… are you related to Theo Van Gogh? You are taking a chance, they lurk out there, watching, sulking, seething… and praying for an opportunity to react with rage for insulting the Prophet.
