>
> Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with
> God."
> St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
> God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the
> Harley-Davidson motorcycle?"
> Arthur said, "Yeah, that's me..."
> God commented: "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty
> unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?"
> Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but aren't you

> God said, "Ah, yes."

> "Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design

> 3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble too much
> 4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust,
> 5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!
> "Hmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
> God went to his Celestial supercomputer; typed in a few words and waited for the
