The Computer Contest

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on their computer. They had been going at it for what seemed like an eternity.

Finally God said, "Cool it you two, I will conduct a contest that will last 2 hours, and I will judge who does the best job.

So Satan and Jesus sat down at their keyboards and went at it.

They typed.
They moused.
They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They sent faxes.
They sent e-mails.
They sent attachments.
They downloaded.
They made cards.
They did every known job that a computer could do.

But 5 minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder clapped, the rain poured, and of course the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in hell. Jesus just sighed.

The electricity flicked and then came back on.

They both restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically and screamed, "It's gone. It's all gone. I lost everything when the power went off."

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of the files from the past 2 hours. Satan observed this and become irate.

"Wait! He cheated! How did he do it?"

God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."
