A race of aliens visits Earth one day. They come in peace; and, surprisingly, they speak perfect English.
Obviously its a once-in-a-lifetime event. All of the heads of world government and all the religious leaders want to speak to the aliens. So a meeting is set up.
Leaders from across the globe each get a turn to question the aliens. When its the Popes turn, he asks, Do you know about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?
You mean J.C? responds one of the aliens. Yeah, we know him! Hes the greatest, isnt he? J.C. swings by every year to make sure that we are doing okay.
The Pope is flabbergasted, as are the rest of the dignitaries. After a few awkward moments the Pope follows up by asking, He visits every year?! Its been more than two millennia for us, and were still awaiting his SECOND coming!
The alien sees that the Pope is rattled by this, and tries to soften the blow. Gee, I dont know, he replies. Maybe he likes our chocolates better than yours?
Chocolates? What are you talking about? the Pope says, incredulously. What does that have to do with anything?
Well, when J.C. first visited our planet we gave him a huge box of chocolates, the alien says. Why? What did you guys do?

(12,877 posts)Especially if he showed up among a group of evangelicals. It reminds me of a true story from back in the Soviet era when the head of the Moscow metro visited the London metro and the head guy in London told him, proudly, that the trains run 24 hours with the workers in three 8-hour shifts. The Moscow guy proudly responded that the trains in Moscow run 24 hours but the workers have two 12-hour shifts, to which London guy replied, "You're not gonna get this lot to agree to that. They're a bunch of communists."
