ARRIVING AT THE PEARLY GATES

Following a distinguished legal career, a man arrived at the Gates of Heaven,
accompanied by the Pope, who had the misfortune to expire on the same day. The
Pope was greeted first by St. Peter, who escorted him to his quarters. The room
was somewhat shabby and small, similar to that found in a low grade Motel 6 type
establishment.
The lawyer was then taken to his room, which was a palatial suite including a
private swimming pool, a garden, and a terrace overlooking the Gates. The
attorney was somewhat taken aback and told St. Peter, "I'm really quite
surprised at these rooms, seeing as how the Pope was given such small
accommodations."
St. Peter replied, "We have over a hundred Popes here, and
we're really very bored with them. We've never had a lawyer."
