He Saves

I found this humor in the November 2007 issue of the Canticle, NTUCSA's bulletin. I think I can share it with you. I edited it though to add more spices onto it.

Oh, it's slightly religious in nature, so please bear with it.

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly, God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough."

"I am going to give you a test that will run for two hours. From the results, I will judge who does the better job!"

So, Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They faxed. They emailed. They emailed with attachments. They downloaded. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They created labels and cards. They created charts and graphs. They did some genealogy reports. They did every job known to man. Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

Satan searched frantically, screaming, "IT'S ALL GONE!!! I lost everything when the power went out!!!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work. Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!" he screamed, "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any!?"

Seeing that Satan could not accept his loss, God said, "It is simple... he does something you do not."

Satan asked, "What? What's that supposed to be?"

God just shrugged and said again, "Jesus SAVES..."
