Religious jokes
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 in
his
book. He then asked the Pope for his name, and looked
it up in his
book also. "Now, if you will come with me, I
will show you your
eternal dwellings," said St. Peter. They
walked along the clouds and came
to a huge mansion with all
sorts of lavish trappings. St. Peter
turned to the lawyer
and told him this was to be his house. The Pope,
knowing how
important he was to the church could hardly imagine what
his
house would be like. St. Peter and the Pope continued on to
a
small, beat-up wooden shack. St. Peter told the Pope that
this would
be his dwelling. The Pope, shocked, said to
St. Peter, "Just a
minute! That other guy was a lawyer and he
gets a mansion. I was the head
of the Roman Catholic church,
and this is all the reward I g
et?" St. Peter looked at the
Pope and said "True, you have done
great things. But
we have lots of Popes in Heaven, and that guy was the
first
lawyer ever to make it up here."
