(Line Eater? What Line Eater?)

A famous Hollywood director dies and reaches Heaven. At the proverbial
gate, St. Peter meets him and explains that God would like the director
to make one more movie.

The director grimaces, " But I retired years before I died. I'm tired
of all the hassles involved in making movies."

"Listen," St. Peter explains, " we got Ludwig von Beethoven to write a
new score for the movie."

"You're not listening to me," the director protested. "I don't want to
make any more movies."

"But we got Leonardo da Vinci to do the set design for you," St. Peter
exclaimed.

"I don't want to make any more movies!" the director insisted.

"Now look at this script," St Peter said. " We got William Shakespeare
to write it for you."

"Well," said the director " a score by  Beethoven, set design by da Vinci,
a script by Beethoven ...... How can I go wrong? I'll do it!"

"Great!" exclaimed St. Peter. " There's only one small hitch....
 God's got a girlfriend who sings.................................."
