God is seriously angry

God is seriously angry one day and decides to destroy the earth and all
mankind. He claps his hands, and in a puff of sweet smelling smoke
appears Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin, and Bill Gates. "I've had it with
all of you!", God booms. "I am giving you each one week to go back, and
warn your people!" With another clap of his hands, all three of them
disappear. Upon
returning, Bill Clinton immediately calls his cabinet. "I have some good
news and some bad news. The good news is that there is a God -- the bad
news is that he is going to destroy the world in one week!"
Meanwhile, in Russia, Boris Yeltsin is having a similar conference with
his ministers of state. "I have bad new and worse news", he tells them.
"First, we were wrong ... there IS a God ... and second, he is very mad,
and he is going to destroy everything in one week!" Strutting around on
stage, Bill Gates speaks to all the employees in Redmond. "I have good
news, and better news!", he tells his microsmerfs. "First, God considers
me one of the three most important people on Earth! Second, we don't
have to fix any of the bugs in Windows 98!"
