A bunch of conspiracy theorists are taking a bus tour of DC and surrounding areas and visiting all the famous conspiracy theory sites when, suddenly, a deer runs out from the side of the road causing the bus to swerve into a ravine.

The bus crashes. All are killed.

The conspiracy theorists meet God at the Pearly Gates and God says “Welcome, conspiracy theorists. Since you are all here together, you can ask me one burning question and I will answer truthfully.”

They mill about to decide which question to ask God.

Will it be about the birth certificate?

Who put that deer in front of the bus?

What about the moon landing hoax?

Or perhaps the New World Order?

Or Roswell?

Eventually, they decide on JFK.

“God,” they ask, “who killed JFK?”

God replies “It was Lee Harvey Oswald, in the book depository, with a gun.”

Most begin to enter the gates, but a few in the back huddle up and can be heard muttering “Hmmm, this one goes higher than we thought.”
