After spending a pleasant first morning in heaven walking through the clouds, the new-arrival headed over to the cafeteria for lunch. He was surprised to find an enormous line stretching for blocks from the front door, but he dutifully took a place at the end of the line.
Fifteen minutes later, a tall old man with a large staff walked to the head of the line and was admitted at the cafeteria door.
"Say," grumbled the newcomer to the man next in line, "how does that guy rate?"
"Oh, that's Saint Jerome." the man replied. "He's a patriarch, you know."
Half an hour later, a dark-haired man carrying stone tablets walked to the front and was admitted, "Who was that?"
"That was Moses," the experienced man answered. "The lawgiver."
Finally, a short, gray-haired man with a long robe and a flowing heard made his way to the front of the line and was admitted.
"And who was that?"
"That was God," the man explained. "But He thinks He's a doctor."
