Subject: Chief Petty Oficers and Popes



 The subject is Chief Petty Officers and Popes:

 The Pope dies of old age and finds himself at the Gates of Heaven at =
0300.
 He knocks on the gate and a very sleepy-eyed watchman opens the gate =
and
 asks, "Wadda ya want?" "I'm the recently deceased Pope and have done 63
 years of Godly work and thought I should check in here."  The watchman
 checks his clipboard and says, "I ain't got no orders for you here-- =
just
 bring your stuff and we'll sort this all out in the morning."

 They go to an old World War II-style barracks, third floor, open 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 gets =
up
 and goes to a window and sees a flashy Jaguar convertible parading down
 the clouds from the golden headquarters building. The sidewalks are =
lined with
 saints and angels cheering and tossing confetti. In the back seat sits =
a US
 Navy Chief Petty Officer, his anchors glistening on his collar, a cigar =
in
 his mouth, a bottle of San Miguel in one hand, and his arm around a
 voluptuous blonde angel with magnificent halos.

 This disturbs the Pope and he runs downstairs to the Master-At-Arms and
 says, "Hey, what gives? You put me, the Pope, with 63 years of Godly
deeds, in an open bay barracks while this Navy Chief, who must have =
committed
every sin known and unknown to man is staying in a mansion on the hill =
and
getting a saint's welcome. How can that be?" The Master-At-Arms calmly =
looks up
and says, "We get a Pope up here every 20 or 30 years, but we've never =
had a
Navy Chief Petty Officer before.
