September 29, 200719 yr Moses dies and goes to heaven. God greets him at the Pearly Gates, and asks if he's hungry. "I could eat," Moses replies. So God opens a can of tuna and reaches for a chunk of rye bread, and they share a meal. While partaking of this humble meal, Moses looks down into Hell, and sees the inhabitants there devouring huge briskets, challahs, pastries and wine. Curious but deeply trusting, he remains quiet. The next day, God again invites Moses to join him for a meal, and again it's tuna and rye bread. And again Moses can see the denizens of Hell, and they're enjoying smoked salmon, leg of lamb, truffles and champagne. Again, Moses says nothing. The following day, mealtime arrives, and God opens another can of tuna. Unable to contain himself any longer, Moses meekly says, "God, I am truly grateful to be here in Heaven with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led, but here in Heaven all I get to eat is tuna and a piece of rye bread. In that 'other place,' they eat like emperors and kings. I just don't understand." God sighs. "Let's be honest," he says. "For two people, does it really pay to cook?"
