A (not entirely) new twist on an old joke:

God calls together the world's most important people to tell them that the world will come to an end in a week. Bill Gates is not included in the group. The next day Clinton, who was included, meets with his Cabinet and says

"Gentlemen, I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that I have direct evidence that god exists. The bad news is that the world will come to an end next week."

Gates calls a meeting of the board and says,

"Gentlemen I have two items of news for you. One is bad and the other is good. The bad news is that god doesn't consider your chairman one of the leaders of the world. The good news is that we won't have to fix Windows 95."
