After decades of faithful service, the pope finally dies and ascends to heaven where he is greeted at the pearly gates by Saint Peter.
"Welcome! For living such a good life and serving God all these years, you're welcomed to heaven and may go anywhere and see anything your heart desires for all time!"
Pleased, the pope timidly remarks, "I have one request if I may... I have always been facinated by the words of the prophets and holy men in our church, recorded in scrolls and passed down through the ages. But so much has been lost over the years, I wonder... would it be possible to see the direct recordings?"
Nodding at the request, Saint Peter showed the pope to the largest library every imagined. Inside they went until they were in a vast room larger than most countries.
"Here you go! Simply whisper aloud what you'd like and it will appear before you instantly. Enjoy!"
Several months passed after this while the pope spent all his time in the library reading. Until one day there was a horrible scream that resounded throughout heaven - something not heard in ages! Angels and other souls rushed to the commotion to see what was the problem. There, in the library was the pope, crying. He was standing back against a wall, finger pointing at one book laying on a table where he kept repeating, "There's an R! There's an R!"
One angel bent over to see what word so confounded the pope...
"Why is he upset about the word celebrate?"
