Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?

A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he asks St. Peter, "I have a question that’s haunted me all of my days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?"

"St. Peter said, "That’s a question only God can answer."So the zebra went off in search of God. When he found Him, the zebra asked, "God, please – I must know. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white
stripes?

"God simply replied "You are what you are."The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him, "Well, did God straighten out your query for you?

"The zebra looked puzzled. "No sir, God simply said ‘You are what you are.’

"St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then, there you are. You are white with black stripes.

"The zebra asked St. Peter, "How do you know that for certain?"

"Because," said St. Peter, "If you were black with white stripes, God would have said, "You IS what you IS."
