"Up There" joke

Scott goes hiking on his own to commune with nature. He gets too close to the edge of a cliff, slips, and finds himself hanging by his hands from the branch of a little tree growing about 10 feet down from the top and 100 feet above a sheer drop to the rocks below. Yelling for help being of no avail, Scott sees his life passing before his eyes, and finally, in desperation, calls up into the sky, "Is there anybody up there?"
A great voice booms out, "Yes, Scott, I am here."
"Who are you?"
"It's me, your God."
"Help me," calls Scott.
"I'll help you. Let go of the tree."
"What?"
"Trust in me. Let go of the tree and I will help you."
Scott thinks for a minute, then calls up into the sky, "Is there anybody else up there?"
