A lawyer and the pope were both killed in an accident.The two were in line to see St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.St. Peter asked the lawyer his name and looked it up inhis book. He then asked the Pope for his name, and lookedit up in his book also. “Now, if you will come with me, Iwill show you your eternal dwellings,” said St. Peter. Theywalked along the clouds and came to a huge mansion with allsorts of lavish trappings. St. Peter turned to the lawyerand told him this was to be his house. The Pope, knowing howimportant he was to the church could hardly imagine what hishouse would be like. St. Peter and the Pope continued on toa small, beat-up wooden shack. St. Peter told the Pope thatthis would be his dwelling. The Pope, shocked, said toSt. Peter, “Just a minute! That other guy was a lawyer and hegets a mansion. I was the head of the Roman Catholic church,and this is all the reward I g et?” St. Peter looked at thePope and said “True, you have done great things. Butwe have lots of Popes in Heaven, and that guy was the firstlawyer ever to make it up here.”
