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."
