Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates... As he enters, he asks St. Peter, 'I have a question that's haunted me all of my days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?'
St. Peter answers, 'That's a question only God can answer.'
So the zebra goes off in search of God.
When he finds Him, the zebra asks, 'God, please - I must know Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?'
God simply replies 'You are what you are.'
The zebra returns to see St. Peter once more, who asks him, 'Well, did God straighten out your query for you?'
The zebra looks puzzled.. 'No sir, God simply said 'You are what you are.''
St. Peter smiles and says to the zebra, 'Well then, there you are. You are white with black stripes..'
The zebra asks St. Peter, 'How do you know that for certain?'
'Because,' says St. Peter, 'If you were black with white stripes, God would have said, 'You is what you is..'
good that is not racial ...he could say " ...because you are already here" (not in hell)
