Venerable old joke...updated

[Phyridean]

Enjoy:

So God decides to end the world...and decides that he needs to tell the three most important people on the planet so that they can prepare their empires adequately.

Suddenly, George Bush, Tony Blair, and Bill Gates find themselves in the divine presence.

"I'm sorry to inform you that the world will be coming to an end in a few short weeks," says the Almighty, and sends them back to earth.

So Bush and Blair go on television and speak to the world:

"We have some good news and some bad news: the good news, there is a God, but the bad news is that he's ending the world in a few weeks."

And Bill Gates goes to Microsoft and says:

"I have some good news and some better news: the good news is that God thinks I'm one of the most important people in the world."

"What's the better news?" someone asks from the crowd.

"The better news is that we no longer have to fix Internet Explorer."

[Adapted from a joke originally printed in "The Prairie Home Companion Pretty Good Joke Book" compiled by Garrison Keillor]

Should I have a chance, I'd say:

"The best news is that I no longer have to use Internet Explorer."
