Two Zebras Were Arguing One Day....

Two zebras were arguing whether all zebras are white with black stripes or black with white stripes. So they decided to walk up to all the zebras around and ask them if they think that they are white with black stripes or black with white stripes. They eventually made it to one of the zebra elders, and he said "The only way you will really find out is if you ask god!"

So the two zebras take a trip to heaven and asked god and on their way out.

"So what did you find out???" The zebras asked.

The two zebras just had a confused look on their faces, and they both said "we have no idea. All god said was 'you are what you are'. What a waste of a trip!"

All the zebras started getting depressed from not knowing the answer, when suddenly the zebra elder responded, "that actually means that we are white with black stripes."

All the other zebras turned wide-eyed to the elder and said in unison "How do you know that??????"

And he responded "because god said 'You are what you are'. Had we been black zebras with white stripes, god woulda said 'you IS what you IS'!"
