No room for two...

"A man knocked at the door.

'Who is there?,' said God.

'Me,' replied the man.

'Go away then,' said God.

The man left and wandered in the arid desert until he realized his error and
returned to the door.

He knocked again. 'Who's there?,' said God.

'You,' answered the man.

'Then come in,' replied God.

'There's no room here for two.'"
