A Muslim dies and finds himself before the pearly gates. 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 to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbs the
ladder in great strides , climbs through the clouds coming to a room where he
meets another bearded man. Full of hope, he asks again, "Are you
Mohammed?"...."No, I am Moses... You will find Mohammed higher up."

Mohammed higher than Moses! The poor man can hardly contain his delight
and climbs and climbs, ever higher. Once again, he reaches a larger room
where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question: "Are you
Mohammed?"...."No, I am Jesus. Mohammed is higher still."

Mohammed is higher than Jesus....Exhausted , but with a heart full of joy, he continues to climb the
ladder and, yet again, he discovers an even larger room where he meets
another 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:

"Hey, Mohammed, two coffees!"
