Lines: 27 From: Richard Newman-WolfeSeems that God and St. Peter were having a cup of coffee the other day, reading the newspaper, when St. Peter said to God, "Say, look at this. It says here that 90% of the adults on earth engage in oral sex!" God looks, and replies, "Hmmmm. Gotta do something about this. Got any ideas?" So St. Peter suggests that they take advantage of the modern mail services and send letters to all those wayward souls. God instructs him to carry this out, then goes off about His business. A day or two later, God bumps into St. Peter again and asks him how it went. St. Peter then tells Him that after He had left, he realized that Heaven could save a lot of shekels if instead of mailing letters to the 90%, they mailed letters to the 10%. God heartily agrees that an 89% savings was a good thing, and asked to look at the letter that St. Peter sent out. And do you know what that letter said? Neither do I.
