St. Peter, at the gates of heaven, saw three people approaching him. St. Peter says to the first, "Who are you?" The man says, "I am Claude Monet." St. Peter asks, "Can you provide proof that you are who you say you are? I can't just let anyone into Heaven, you see." So, Monet proceeds to paint a masterpiece in front of him. Convinced, St. Peter lets him through the gate.
The next person approaches, explaining that he is Ludwig Van Beethoven. Needing proof, St. Peter has Beethoven perform a masterwork on a grand piano. Satisfied, St. Peter lets him through the gate.
The last person approaches, stating, "I'm Paris Hilton." St. Peter says, "Well, can you provide me proof? You saw how Monet and Beethoven both proved to me their identities" Paris then responds, "Monet and Beethoven? Who are they?!" St. Peter sighs, "Oh, Ms. Hilton, right this way."
