A Wall Street executive gets to heaven and is met with a huge celebration and a parade leading to the throne of God. He is greeted personally and embraced warmly by the Creator.
A Pope later approaches the Lord and says, “I don’t want to sound like I am complaining, as I am very happy top be here, but when I arrived I received no such celebration, parade, etc., and I was the Pope. I just don’t understand why this Wall Street executive gets an even bigger mansion than myself, since I was the Pope.”
To which the Lord replies: “Well, Your Holiness, we have a lot of popes here in heaven, but this is the first Wall Street executive to make it in.”
