A priest and a lawyer A priest and a lawyer had both died, after what seemed like eternity they finally stood before the pearly gates of heaven. Suddenly the gates open and a bright angel of God apears before them. "Welcome to the kingdom of Heaven, please get in my carriage and I will show you to your new homes" says the angel. The priest and the lawyer oblige and climb aboard. As they travel they see roads of gold and jewels. Houses large and small. Finally they approach the first house. It is large and beautiful, crowned with jewels, a pool and beautiful women. The priest thinks "WOW, this is beautiful, surely all my years serving God is finally being rewarded". The angel depards the carriage and say "okay lawyer this is yours" The lawyer is exstatic, jumps out of the carriage and runs in joy to his new home. This priest think "wow if this is what he gets then i am surely graced" They pull away and as they travel the priest notices things aren't so nice, the roads barely look paved, the houses are run down and the sky becomes cloudy and dull. They pull up to a shack and the angel gets out and says "this is yours" the priest looks confused and ask the angel "but how could this be? I have served God all my life, ive never experienced the touch of a woman, or the taste if alcohol. Why would i get this shack but the lawyer gets that!" The angel giggles a little and say "we have many preists in heaven. But that is the first lawyer to ever make it here!"
