There Gone!

One day in heaven, St. Peter notices a large crowd of people at the Pearly Gates. It turned out that they were all Clinton supporters. St. Peter rushed over to God and said " God, God! There is a crowd of Clinton/Gore suppoters who all want to get into heaven! What shall I do?" God replied, "Well, I assume that's quite a few people, so let only five or six people and the rest will have to wait a week before they can get in." St. Peter left God's office. Suddenly, he turned and flew back to God as fast as his wings could carry him. "GOD! GOD!" Peter screamed. "THEY'RE GONE! THEY'RE GONE!" "All of them???" answered God Peter replied, "Not the people, the Pearly Gates!"
