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."
