Putting the Reagan years in perspective:

[drdtroit]

Ronald Reagan arrived at the Pearly Gates last week and was met by St. Peter.

Reagan was stunned for a moment.

"You mean, I---I'm in?" he asked.

"That's right!" said St. Peter. "Come on, man. I'll show you
around." He tossed the keys to a brand new Lincoln Town Car at
Reagan. "You drive. This is your car, for the rest of
eternity."

Reagan was thrilled as they drove along the streets of Heaven,
through beautiful, sunny neighborhoods. Finally they came to a fancy
part of
town, with big lawns and swimming pools. St. Peter told Reagan that
this is where he would be living.

"That's Franklin Roosevelt's house over there," St. Peter pointed
out as they drove past. "And that's where Albert Einstein lives, next to
Madame Curie. Pope John Paul XXIII lives here....and here's your
house!" They pulled into the driveway and got out.

As Reagan was looking around, he noticed up in the hills a palace
made of shimmering, white granite. He could see it was enormous,
with terraces and magnificent gold fountains.

"That must be where the Lord lives," said Reagan, awestruck. St. Peter
shook
his head.
"No, Ronnie, that's Ray Charles' place," he said.
Reagan's smile faded. he looked puzzled.

"Ray Charles lives there? How come all the presidents, scientists
and popes live here, and Ray Charles lives up in that palace? I
don't get it!"

"Ronnie," St. Peter chuckled. "Presidents and Popes are a
dime a dozen. But baby, there's only one Ray Charles!"

2. Cute. But I was hoping St. Peter would hand Ronnie a toilet bowl brush

and tell him to get to work on Ray's bathrooms!
