St. Peter greets them and starts reading off their qualifications for getting into Heaven. He starts with the priest.
"You've lived your entire life for God. You've never sworn or taken His name in vain. You've never lied, cheated, nor stolen. You prayed everyday and changed many lives through your sermons and actions..."
The list goes on for a quite a while. Finally, Saint Peter finishes and says:
"Go forth and enjoy Heaven. You will be staying in a shack just down the road."
The priest, a little surprised with his living conditions but not one to question the work of the Almighty, graciously accepts and starts to go on his way.
As he's leaving, Saint Peter turns to the lawyer and exclaims:
"Oh my, it's you! Everybody! It's him, it's him!"
The priest watches on as hundreds of angels rush the lawyer, hoist him up on their shoulders, and crowd surf him all the way to an elegant mansion, laughing, cheering, and celebrating all the while.
Once the proceeding finishes and Saint Peter returns to his post, the priest can't stay quiet any longer and confronts Saint Peter.
"What was that!? I've lived my life for God, done every thing the Bible asks, prayed everyday, and more and all I get is a lousy shack while HE gets a beautiful mansion and a parade!? What gives!?"
Saint Peter looks at the priest knowingly and says:
"Well, we get priests like you all the time...but we have NEVER gotten a lawyer before!"
