Reminds me of a joke told by a former President many years ago.
"A Congressman dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. St Michael welcomes him warmly and escorts him to his new living quarters in Paradise. They pass many small single story dwellings, with very small gardens, a small hedge and a tiny tree until they arrive at a huge beautiful mansion, with a long sweeping drive up to the front door, an 18 hole putting green on the front lawn, a swimming pool, barbeque area and a three car garage with a stretched Cadillac limousine parked outside.
'Goodness me,' says the Congressman, this is magnificent. But why have I been given this beautiful home when we passed so many tiny shacks?'
'Well, you see,' says Saint Michael,' all those tiny dwellings belong to priests, bishops, vicars and other holy people. We've got thousands of them up here.
But we've never had a politician before. Congratulations and welcome!'
(R.I.P.Ronald Reagan.)
