A lawyer, a doctor, and a priest die and go to heaven. The angel showing them to their accommodations first brings them to a huge mansion with spacious grounds, vast halls, beautiful furnishings, and so on. The angel says to the lawyer “This is where you’ll be living here in Heaven. You have a staff of servant angels waiting on you around the clock, and the phone is a direct line to God.”
Next he comes to a cottage with a small garden. The angel tells the doctor “This is where you’ll be living. You’ll have one angel servant to run errands for you, but he works 9-5, Monday-Friday. If you want to talk to God, you can drop by His office anytime, and you can wait in the VIP lounge.”
FInally, the angel takes the priest to a huge (but very nice) apartment block. “You’ll be sharing a four-room unit with Rabbi Levin. An angel housekeeping service comes by once a week, and if you want to talk to God you can make an appointment and He’ll try to get to you in a couple of weeks.”
The priest says, “You know, I hate to complain, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed. I mean, I’ve devoted my life to serving God, and while I’m CERTAINLY happy to have made it to heaven, I have to wonder why the lawyer and the doctor got such special treatment.”
The angel replies “It’s all right, I can understand. It’s supply and demand. You see, we’re up to our ears in priests, rabbis, ministers, lamas, holy men and women of every sort. Always have been. And we’ve certainly had a fair number of doctors, as well. But that guy you came in with is our FIRST lawyer.”
I like the one where the lawyer gets to heaven and is met with trumpet fanfares, choirs, and the whole works. He asks if he is the first lawyer and St. Peter says, no they’ve had a few others but he was the first since Methusela’s time to live past the age of 500. The lawyer replies “But I died at 63….” St Peter looks at his books again, slaps his forehead and says “Doh, we added up your billing hours by mistake!”

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a lawyer to enter into the kingdom of God.

Of course it would be Pro Bono. You can’t take it with you, you know.

Try it this way, Sheik:
“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle… if it is lightly greased.”
