Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope

Also in the news, a sampling of public opinion about embattled Tom DeLay:

"I heard Tom DeLay's blood was in the water and the sharks were circling him, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a metaphor."

"There's a big difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Sure, he broke both, but there's a big difference."

"I'm telling you, if Tom DeLay would come out and say, 'Screw it, I'm just in it for the cash and the bitches,' his popularity would skyrocket. At the very least, he'd be in a Kid Rock video.

The Pope dies and is standing in front of the Pearly Gates. Turns out the guy next to him is a lawyer.

St. Peter comes out and motions both of them to come in.

The trio walks along until they come to a magnificent palace. "Right," says the Pope, and heads towards it. St. Peter holds him back and tells the lawyer the palace belongs to him.

St. Peter moves away, and disappointed, the Pope follows.

The pair ends up in an area of brownstone apartment buildings. St. Peter indicates one telling the Pope, "Your place is on the third floor, at the back."

"Wait just a minute!" exclaims the Pope. "I was leader of the Catholic Church, the most powerful primate on the planet! I get a third floor walkup and a lawyer gets a magnificent palace?!"

St. Peter shrugs. "We've got lots of Popes up here."

You'll have to answer to Pope Abs I for that one, buddy.
 
Another problem is that all the Pilgrims, Quakers, and Amish in their uniform black and the Buddhist's in their robes of plain white, instead of the usual wealthy parishioners showing off their expensive new fashions, act as a blight upon the celestial ambiance. :cool:
