A zebra dies goes to heaven. When checking in, he tells St. Peter,

Say, I have always wanted to know if I am white with black stripes or black with white stripes.

St. Peter, I cant answer that question…but see God walking around over there? Ask him.

Zebra to God, God, am I white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

God looks at the zebra sagely and states, You are what you are.

Frustrated, the zebra returns to St. Peter.

What did He say, asks S.P.

Oh,, replies the zebra. He just said, You are what you are, and I still dont know whether Im black with white stripes or white with black stripes.

Oh, thats easy, says S.P. You are white with black stripes.

How do you know? asks the zebra. Well, says S.P., if you were black with white stripes he would have said you is what you is.
