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.
