Aliens visit earth for the first time and it turns out they're the peaceful kind. An ambassador travels down from their mothership and begins meeting with the UN, heads of states, religious leaders and so forth.

When it's the Pope's turn they sit down together in the Vatican and the Pope says:

"I have only one question for you, who have traveled all the way from the other side of the galaxy. Do you know our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?"

"JC!!! Of course we do! Everyone absolutely loves the guy," the alien replies. "He swings by every few years and we throw a huge party. Have you seen his party tricks? The guy's hilarious!"

The Pope is stunned. "Every few years! That surely can’t be! We've waited more than 2.000 years for his return!"

"Oh dear, I don't know what to tell you," the alien says. "He just loves the chocolate, says he can't get enough of it!"

"Chocolate?! What on earth are you going on about?!" the Pope almost cries.

"Well, the first time he arrived, we all chipped in and bought him this huge gift basket of chocolates. Wait… what did you guys do?"

While I may be able to accept that the son of God has a way of overcoming the laws governing the space-time continuum, I find it hard to accept that an alien life form, no matter how advanced, could have found away to break the fundamental laws of physics necessary to travel the vast distance to get here from the nearest habitable planet.

By 'he swings by every few years' the alien clearly means light years. Which makes 2,000 years in earth years two shakes of a lamb's tail by comparison. Could be quite a long wait til his second coming. Can't we just agree to worship a tree frog or something instead?

I would like to know why the aliens always seem to choose humans for these conversations.

  • Ants and termites outnumber us.
  • If they have a point to prove go negotiate with the honey badgers and see how far that gets them.
  • Even dogs beat us into space.

Now what was the point I was trying to make again?

Do honey badgers taste nice thinly spread on toast?

It was the abundance of chocolate at said habitable planet that I found more unlikely.

You do realise that "light year" is a measure of distance...?

According to Brian Cox, we have the miniscule window but perfect balance of pressure and temperature to enable water to exist in all three states.
This makes life pretty unlikely anywhere else, apart from that Jupiter moon, were these travellers from there?

Either the Aliens misheard or Jesus was to young to remember but when he first arrived he was given gold, frankincense & myrrh. Not a box of Quality Street! It's all documented, if they could be bothered to do their research & not believe everything they hear!

Would never want to return as probably given a box dates in that white coffin shaped box or those foul dried up sugared fruit jelly slices.
