A zebra meets God. All his life the zebra always wondered whether he was a black zebra with white stripes, or a white zebra with black stripes. He thought about this often but never came to an answer. Well, one day while he was out and about, he was shot by a hunter. When he arrived to heaven, he was face to face with Saint Peter. Realizing where he was, the zebra asked Saint Peter if he could as God a question. Before he knew it, the zebra was face to face with God. ""What is the question you wish to ask?"" The zebra then said, ""All my life I have been wondering this, my Lord, am I a black zebra with white stripes? or a white zebra with black stripes?"" Without hesitation, God replied ""You are what you are."" Before he knew it, the zebra was back with Saint Peter. ""Did he answer your question?"" asked Peter. ""Not exactly..."" ""Well, what did you ask him?"" ""I asked whether I was a black zebra with white stripes or a white zebra with black stripes."" ""What was his answer?"" ""All he said was, 'You are what you are.'"" ""Oh!"" exclaimed Saint Peter, ""that means you're a white zebra with back stripes."" The zebra was confused as to how Saint Peter knew this and asked him, ""How do you know that?"" ""Because,"" said Saint Peter, ""if you were a black zebra with white stripes, he would've said, 'You iz what you iz.'""
