The marketing rep got to the pearly gates first. St. Peter opened the gate, welcomed him in and pointed him to go up the street of gold. "There is the mansion you have been promised, my son". The Pope came up next. Peter let him in, but showed him a small shack in the other direction. The Pope questioned Peter, and said, "I am the spiritual leader of millions, led a devout life, and did not sin, so why does he get a better place than me?" Peter answered, "My son, you must understand, we have hundreds of Popes in heaven, but that was the first IBM marketing rep to get past the gates." ########################################################## LOL!
