[font:Century Gothic] The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts

The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts were in a three-way plane crash
over the Pacific Ocean. They all died and went to heaven together.

"Oh, this is terrible," exclaims St. Peter. "I know you guys think we
summoned you here, but this is just one of those coincidences that happen.
Since we weren't expecting you, your quarters just aren't ready... We can't
take you in and we can't send you back..."Then he got an idea. He picked up
the phone, "Lucifer, this is St. Peter. Hey, I got these three guys up here.
They're ours, but we weren't expecting them, and we gotta fix the place up
for 'em. I was hoping you could put them up for a while. It'll only be a few
of days. What d'ya say?"

Reluctantly, the Devil agreed.

However, two days later... St. Peter got a call.

"Pete, this is Lucifer. Hey, you gotta come get these guys. This Pope fellow
is forgiving everybody, the Graham guy is saving everybody, and that Roberts
has raised enough money to buy air conditioning ."[/font]

Dear Alice,

That is a good one, and definitely brought a smile to my face. Thank you.

In IC XC,

A Penthouse In Heaven

The Pope dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there, Saint Peter shows him to his new quarters which turn out to be a tiny one bedroom apartment.

The Pope is horrified and wants to know why he doesn't have the penthouse apartment, which is huge.

Saint Peter informs him that the resident of the penthouse is a lawyer.

"A lawyer," says the Pope. "But I'm the Pope, surely I'm more important."

"With respect Sir," says Saint Peter, "We have lots of Pope's up here, but we only have ONE lawyer!"

Here's one you've probably heard, but here goes anyway.

The Pope gets in the car with his driver and a while going down the road he says to the driver, "You know, I haven't driven a car for so long, do you mind if I drive for a while"?. So the driver lets the Pope take the wheel. A short time later the Pope gets pulled over by the police for exceeding the speed limit. The police officer approaches the car, looks inside and calls back to dispatch, "I've got somebody REALLY important pulled over here for speeding, should I give him a ticket?". Dispatch asks, "Who is It?". The officer replies, "I don't know, but the Pope is his DRIVER!".

Dear Bill,

Your joke has always been my favorite, but here's one I heard a very, very long time ago: biggrin

One day this Protestant Minister died and went to heaven. When there, Saint Peter said:

"You did a great job, so we're giving you a Ford".

Well he drove around and lo and behold, he saw a Catholic priest driving a stunning white Buick. So he went to Saint Peter complaining:

"What goes, that Catholic priest is driving a Buick, and here I am with only a Ford,"

"Okay" said Saint Peter, "here's the scoop". "The priest remained celibate, and so on and so forth."

"Well okay then," the Minister reluctantly agreed and went merrily on his way.

Well, it wasn't long before he spotted a red Cadillac, with a Rabbi at the wheel.

"Now that takes the cake. I can understand a priest with a Buick, but a Rabbi with a Cadillac". This time he was really upset.

"Hey Saint Peter, what's the idea! A priest with a buick, I can understand but A Rabbi with a Cadillac"

"Now you should really be ashamed of yourself," Saint Peter responded. "Don't you know he's related to the boss." crazy
