He was third in line, and overheard St. Peter talking to the other souls.
"What were you in life?" St. Peter asked of one man.
"I was a personal injury lawyer," came the reply.
"Well, come with me," said St. Peter. "I will show you to your quarters." And St. Peter led the man to a sumptuous palace, more glorious than anything on earth.
St. Peter returned to the line, and asked the next man what he did in life. The man replied, "In life, I was Pope John Paul II."
St. Peter said, "Let me show you to your quarters," and led the Pontiff to a tiny shack made of the crudest materials imaginable. When St. Peter returned to the line, the man started shouting.
"That isn't fair! That was the Pope, and you put him in a terrible house, while some nobody of a lawyer gets the finest palace imaginable! This just doesn't seem right."
St. Peter shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say? We've got hundreds of popes up here. It's the first lawyer we've ever had."
