God was fed up. In a crash of thunder He yanked up to Heaven three 
influential humans:  Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin and Bill Gates. 
"The human race is a complete disappointment," God boomed.  "You each 
have one week to prepare your followers for the end of the world." With 
another crash of thunder they found themselves back on Earth. 

Clinton immediately called his cabinet.  "I have good news and bad 
news," he announced grimly.  "The good news is that there is a God. The 
bad news is, God's really mad and plans to end the world in a week." 

In Russia, Yeltsin announced to parliament, "Comrades, I have bad news 
and worse news.  The bad news is that we were wrong: there is a God 
after all. The worse news is God's mad and is going to end the world in 
a week." 

Meanwhile, Bill Gates called a meeting of his top engineers.  "I have 
good news and better news.  The good news is that God considers me one 
of the three most influential men on Earth," he beamed.  "The better 
news is we don't have to fix Windows 95."
