Jesus and Satan
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his
computer.  They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing
all the bickering.  Finally, God said,  "Cool it.  I am going to set up a
test that will run two hours, and I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.
They clicked.
They did spreadsheets.
They did charts and graphs.
They downloaded files.
They wrote reports with footnotes.
They sent faxes.
They sent e-mail.
They sent e-mail with attachments.
Satan wrote viruses.
Jesus wrote a virus filter.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across
the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and - of course - the electricity
went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the
Underworld.  Jesus just sighed.  The electricity finally came back on, and
each of them started their computers.

Satan started searching frantically, screaming, "It's gone! 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.  Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!  He cheated!"
"How did he do it?"

God shrugged and said,  "Jesus saves."
