The Pope dies, and, naturally, goes to heaven.  He's met by the reception
committee, and after a whirlwind tour he is told that he can enjoy any of
the myriad of recreations available.

He decides that he wants to read all of the ancient original texts
of the Holy Scriptures, so he spends the next eon or so learning the
languages. After becoming a linguistic master, he sits down in the library
and begins to pore over every version of the Bible, working back from
the most recent ``Easy Reading'' to the original script. All of a sudden
there is a scream in the library.

The angels come running in only to find the Pope huddled in his chair,
crying to himself, and muttering ``An 'R'! The scribes left out the
'R'{}!{}''.

A particularly concerned angel takes him aside, offering comfort, and
asks him what the problem was and what does he mean.

After collecting his wits, The Pope sobs again, ``It's the
letter 'R'. They left out the 'R'. The word was supposed to be
\textsc{celebrate}!''
