Bill Gates died and went to Heaven.
Saint Peter showed him to his house, a small cottage on a tiny plot in
the woods. The closets were full of simple but servicable clothing,
and the kitchen was stocked with the basic needs. Bill slowly settled
into a modest and quiet life in heaven.
One day, Bill was walking in 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 lake. I have a huge five-hundred acre estate,
a golf course, tennis courts and three Rolls Royces."
"Were you the Pope, or a doctor who healed 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 St. Peter, Bill 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, we use Windows here in heaven," replied Peter, "and the Titanic
only crashed once."
