第66章 比尔·盖茨和上帝

Bill Clinton,Al Gore and Bill Gates all died in a plane crash and went to meet their Maker.The supreme deity turned to Al and asked,tell what was important about yourself.

Al responded that he felt that the earth was the ultimate importance and protecting the earth's ecological system was most important.

God looked to Al and said,“I like the way you think,come and sit at my left hand.”God then asked Bill Clinton what he revered most.

Bill Clinton responded that he felt people and their personal choices were most important.

God responded,“I like the way you think,come and sit at my right hand.”God then turned to Bill Gates,who was staring at him indignantly.

God asked“What is your problem Bill Gates?”

Bill responded“I think you are sitting in my chair.”

比尔·克林顿,阿尔·戈尔和比尔·盖茨都死于空难。之后,他们去见造物主。上帝转向阿尔·戈尔并问他:“你觉得什么对你是最重要的?”

阿尔·戈尔说他觉得地球很重要,保护地球的生态环境最重要。

上帝看了看阿尔·戈尔说:“我很高兴你能这么想,来,坐到我的左手边。”然后上帝问比尔·克林顿他最崇尚什么。

比尔·克林顿回答说人和他们的个人选择最重要。

上帝回答说:“我很高兴你能这么想,来,坐到我的右手边。”

上帝转向比尔·盖茨,他正在很不高兴地看着上帝。

上帝问:“比尔·盖茨,你有什么问题吗?”

盖茨回答说:“我觉得你坐的是我的位子。”
