When Mother Teresa died and went to heaven,

God greeted her at the Pearly Gates.  "Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?" asked 

God.



I could eat," she replied.



So, God opened a can of tuna, unwrapped a loaf of rye bread, and they began to 



share it.  While eating the humble tuna sandwich, Mother Teresa looked down 



into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, lobsters, pheasant 



and pastries.  Curious, but deeply trusting, she remained quiet.



The next day, God invited her to join him for a meal.  Again, it was tuna and 



rye bread.  Once again, Mother Teresa could see the denizens of Hell enjoying 



lamb, turkey and apple pie.  Still, she said nothing.  The following day, 



mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened.  She couldn't contain 



herself any longer.  Meekly, she asked, "God, I am grateful to be in heaven 



with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led.  But here in heaven, 



all I get is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the other place they eat 



like emperors and kings!  I just don't understand it."



God sighed: "Let's be honest, Teresa.  For two people, it just doesn't pay to 



cook."
