A Survivor in Heaven

“Welcome!” says God. “What’s the news from Earth?”

“Well,” says the survivor, “I learned a funny joke. Want to hear it?”

“Sure,” says God.

The survivor starts telling the joke. “Okay, so one day Hitler announces, ‘I’m going to kill 6 million Jews and 1 clown.’”

“Wait,” says God, “Why 1 clown?”

“Aha! See? No one cares about the Jews!”

There’s a beat. God realizes that was the punchline.

God is not amused. “I don’t find Holocaust jokes very funny.”

“Ah, well, I guess you had to be there.”
