God was looking over some vacation brochures when St. Peter stepped into his office... "Holiday time again, eh Lord?" Peter asked. "Yes", God replied, "...but I have no idea where I should go this year..."
"I hear Mercury is nice this time of year, Lord..." Peter said. "Too hot", said God.
"Then might I suggest Venus..." "No, said God, "...I've been there before. Too humid for my liking." "Then what about Neptune, Lord? That's a good distance away from the sun..." "Don't be rediculous, Peter... You know that it's too cold there to enjoy anything..."
"Then what about Earth???" Peter suggested. " "It has a variety of climates so you're very likely to find a spot there suitable to your liking..." God sighed and said, "Can't go there, Peter... I wish I could, but I can't..."
"Why not, Lord?" Peter inquired. "Well... I went there on vacation about 2000 years ago... I met a lovely young lady and we had a brief affair. And those damn locals have been talking about it ever since!"
