Don't Forward This To Anyone

I despise forwarded internet jokes. In my view, these jokes are a cheep form of communication for people who really don't have anything original to say, so they pass on a few silly thoughts... almost always written by someone else. I decided to write a traditional Pearly Gates joke that makes a statement about something I don't believe in... Doctors!

Apparently there was a Dr. Rosenberg who had died, and when he got to the pearly gates, there was a long line, and he said to himself, "I'm a doctor! Surely I don't have to wait in a line," so he went to the front of the line.

St. Peter was there greeting the new arrivals, and he said to the doctor, "Whoa! Wait a minute, sir! You have to wait in this here line before I can let you in".

Dr. Rosenberg replied, "But I'm a doctor!"

St. Peter chuckled and said, "Well, up here you have to wait just like everyone else. You'll get used to it... eventually."

Dr. Rosenberg was very angry and stormed back to the end of the line. By now a lot more folks had arrived, and the line was much longer. As he stood there, he stewed over the fact that he had to wait in a line... with regular people. After all, he was a doctor. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. And just as he was lamenting over all of the power and control he was missing back on Earth, he noticed someone approaching who was dressed in the finest shoes, shirt, tie and trousers under a white a lab coat, completed with a stethoscope dangling from his neck. "Obviously this man is a doctor" Dr. Rosenberg thought to himself. But instead of waiting at the end of the line like everyone else, he walked directly to the front, and without missing a stride, Peter gave him a thumbs up and a wink and stepped to the side to allowed him to enter, extending a high five as he passed by.

When Dr Rosenberg saw the scene, he was outraged and stomped to the front of the line and demanded entrance. After all, like the man who had just been admitted, he too was a doctor, and should be allowed to enter.

Peter laughed and said "You don't understand sir! That wasn't a doctor... that was God! He just thinks that he's a doctor!."

Please DON'T forward this to anyone!!!
