For Karl....

The Pope dies unexpectedly and finds himself at the gates of Heaven at

0300. He knocks on the gate and a very sleepy eyed angel opens the gate

and asks, "Wadda you want?" "I'm the recently deceased Pope and have

done 63 years of Godly works and thought I should check in here."

 

 

The Heaven's gate watch checks his clipboard and says, "I ain't got no

orders for you here, just bring your stuff and we'll sort this out in

the morning"

 

Off they go to an old W.W. I barracks, 3rd floor, open squad bay. All

the bottom racks are taken and all empty lockers have no doors. The Pope

stows his gear under a rack and climbs into an upper bunk.

 

The next morning he awakens to sounds of cheering and clapping. He goes

to the window and sees a shiny convertible coming down from the golden

headquarters building on the hill. The sidewalks are lined with Angels

cheering and throwing confetti. In the back seat of the convertible is

an old Marine Gunnery Sergeant, his Campaign cover set firmly over his

brow, a cigar in his mouth, a can of beer in one hand and his other arm

around a beautiful blonde Angel.

 

This upsets the Pope greatly and he runs downstairs to heaven's gate and

says to St. Peter, "Hey, please explain this to me. Here I am, the

recently deceased Pope, I Have spent 63 years doing Godly deeds on Earth

and here I am in an open squad bay, and I see this crusty Marine Gunny,

that I know has committed every sin known to man, staying in the mansion

on the hill and getting a hero's welcome. How can this be?"

 

 

St. Peter calmly looks up and says, "We get a Pope here every 20 or 30

years, but this is the first Marine Gunny we've ever had."
