Jesus vs. Satan at computing

Jesus and Satan get into an argument one day about who is the best at computing. Finally, God gets tired of hearing them bicker and decides to have a contest to settle it once and for all.

He sets up a computer for each of them, and gives them each a list of tasks to complete. For hours, Satan and Jesus are clicking away, making spreadsheets, cropping images, setting up Access databases. Satan is nearing his last task, and Jesus is nowhere close.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning comes out of nowhere and cuts off the power. Satan and Jesus both scramble to get their computers up, and Satan starts feverishly redoing all of his work. A few minutes later, Jesus declares that he's done.

"That's not fair!" protests Satan. "I finished all my work way before him, it's not my fault there was a power outage!"

God simply shrugged. "Jesus saves."
