an accident and both die.
Naturally, they appear before the pearly gates in heaven.
In the distance they see a crowd running toward them.
The pope steps forward and holds his head up, and straightens his little lace frock.
As the crowd draws near, the enthusiasm of the throng becomes obvious. Finally the gates open and the multitudes of people rush toward the pope's lawyer and he is swept up onto their shoulders and carried within the gates, down the streets of gold, and as they finally disappear into the distance, the pope walks over to St. Peter who had walked back over to his post beside the gates and sat back down.
The pope says, "I am the pope, you know."
St. Peter says "Yes, you may enter."
The pope continues, "That man was only my lawyer, I am the pope."
St. Peter says, "Yes, I know . . . Popes we have plenty . . .
He was the first lawyer to make it!"
