Joke Of The Day: The Best Programmer

Rubber Chicken Jesus and Satan were having an argument as to who was the better programmer. This went on for a few hours until they agreed to hold a contest with God as the judge. They sat at their computers and began.

He asked Satan to show what he had come up with. Satan was visibly upset, and cried, “I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went out.”

“Very well, then,” God said, “Let us see if Jesus did any better.”

Jesus entered a command, and the screen came to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir poured forth from the speakers.

Satan was astonished. He stuttered, “But how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?”

God chuckled. “Jesus Saves” he said.

Usually, there will be someone around you who would be able to help, but in a world of over 7 billion people, it’s becoming important to be useful yourself.
