Lawyer and the Pope
St. Peter greeted two newcomers at the Pearly Gates. One was the Pope, the other was a lawyer. He ushered the Pope to a small cottage and settled him in to his austere quarters; then he led the lawyer to a huge, luxurious mansion.
"I don't understand," the lawyer puzzled. "That man was a Pope, and you gave him a shack. And yet, you're letting me live in this luxurious, huge mansion. Why?"
"Sir," said St. Peter. "We've had lots and lots of popes here. But, you, sir, are our very FIRST lawyer."
