The Forester and the Lawyer

Lawyer

A Forester and a Lawyer die and go to Heaven.

They are greeted at the gates by their guide. He motions for them to follow and leads them down a beautiful, gold-washed path. At the end of the path, they reach a solid gold mansion, glittering in the sun. The guide turns to the Lawyer and says, "This is where you will spend eternity. We hope it's to your liking." The Lawyer thanks him profusely and enters the mansion. The guide motions to the Forester, and they move on down a beautiful cobblestone street. They pass by a giant Victorian neighborhood and keep going. They pass a regular suburb, then a trailer park, then shacks. Finally, they end up on a barely visible dirt path where they reach a lean-to. The guide says, "This is where you will spend eternity. We hope you like it." The Forester stops the guide and says, "Why do I get the lean-to? I was good my whole life. I never did anything bad. Why does the other guy get a solid gold mansion?" The guide looks shocked as he replies, "Sir, we get Foresters all the time. That was the first Lawyer we have ever had."
