reevesr1 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 An oldie but a goodie. A lawyer is greeted at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter with much pomp and circumstance. He tells the lawyer how happy Heaven is to have him and shows him to his new palace complete with gardeners, maids, manicured grounds, all the trappings of a fine estate. The lawyer is stunned and very thankful and settles quickly into his new glorious life. A parish priest hears of this. He sees St. Pete and heads toward him. St. Pete thinks "oh oh, he's heard about the lawyer" and heads the other way. But the parish priest corners St. Pete and says: "I was a priest for 50 yrs. I served fully and faithfully all those years and brought many new people into the church. Here in heaven, I share a house with 39 other priests, 6 bishops, 4 cardinals and a pope. But a lawyer gets a palace. Please explain yourself." St. Pete says: My fine and faithful brother. We have many priests, bishops, cardinals and priests here in heaven. We only have one lawyer." Quote
