Bill Gates and St. Peter
When Bill Gates died, he went up to Heaven, where Saint Peter
showed him to his house; a beautiful 20 room house, with grounds
and a tennis court. Bill Gates was pleased, and spent many months
enjoying the amenities of Heaven.
One day, he was enjoying one of Heaven's many fine parks, when
he ran into a man dressed in a fine tailored suit.
"That is a nice suit, my friend," said Gates. "Where
did you get it?"
"Actually," the man replied, "I was given a
hundred of these when I got here. I've been treated really well.
I got a mansion on a hill overlooking a beautiful hill, with a
huge five-hundred acre estate, a golf course, and three Rolls
Royces."
"Were you a Pope, or a doctor healing the sick?"
asked Gates.
"No," said his new friend, "Actually, I was the
captain of the Titanic."
Hearing this made Gates so angry that he immediately stalked
off to find St. Peter.
Cornering Peter, he told him about the man he had just met,
saying, "How could you give me a paltry new house, while you're
showering new cars, a mansion, and fine suits on the Captain of
the Titanic? I invented the Windows operating system! Why does he
deserve better??!!!!"
"Yes, but we use Windows," replied Peter, "and
the Titanic only crashed once."
