Mubarak, Obama and Putin are at a meeting together when suddenly God appears before them. “I have come to tell you that the end of the world will be in two days.” So each leader prepares a television address. In Washington, Obama says, ‘My fellow Americans, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I can confirm that God exists. The bad news is that he told me the world will end in two days.’ In Moscow, Putin says, ‘People of Russia, I regret to inform you of two pieces of bad news. First, God exists, which means everything our country has believed in for most of the last century was false. Second, the world is ending in two days.’ In Cairo, Mubarak says, ‘O Egyptians, I come to you today with two pieces of excellent news. First, God and I just held an important summit. Second, he told me I would be your president until the end of time.’
