He knocks on the gate and a very sleepy-eyed watchman opens the gate and asks, “Wadda you want?”
“I’m the recently deceased Pope and have done 63 years of Godly works on Earth. The watchman checks his clipboard and says, “I have no special orders for you here, just bring your stuff and we’ll sort this out in the morning.”
He leads the Pope to an old WWII barracks, 3rd 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 cloudwalks are lined with saints and angels cheering and tossing confetti. In the back seat of the Rolls sits a Submariner, cigar in his mouth, a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale in each hand, and his tattoo covered arms around two voluptuous blonde Angels with magnificent halos.
This very much disturbs the Pope so he runs downstairs to the Master-at-Arms Angel’s Office and says, My son what is going on here?
How could you put me, a Pope with 63 years of Godly deeds, in a plain old barracks room
while this Submariner, who must’ve committed every sin known and unknown to man is staying in a mansion on the hill and getting a hero’s welcome. How can this be?”
