Thanks for this. I love Mort Sahl! Since Peter was crucified in Rome I wonder if he left any bad credit card debt back in Palestine? If he did, knowing VISA, they're still sending over due notices.

This reminds me of a bit by Mort Sahl. He was doing a comedy riff on the bishop at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco having to phone the Vatican because Christ had shown up. He was asking advice on what to do about him. In the comedy bit we could only hear the Bishop's side of the conversation [from memory, and thus almost certainly not word for word]: "Yes, I'm pretty sure it's him. Wounds on the wrists, loads of charisma. It's him." [ Silence, as if the Bishop is listening to the Pope's response ] "Of course he's white!" > Only tweak, Peter started the Catholic Church like Paul > Allen started Microsoft. Good line. Although I should point out that Paul Allen retired in New Mexico, where Microsoft was first started. He is viewed as a great neighbor and a wonderful person. Bill Gates would never have been able to go back to New Mexico because when he decided to move the company to Bellevue he ran out on most of the company's New Mexico debts, and left without paying hundreds of creditors there. In all the years since -- and with all of the success he's enjoyed since -- it has never occurred to him to go back and pay those outstanding debts. New Mexicans have never forgotten that.
