The 30 top Cardinals of the Catholic Church in Rome are having their yearly convention.
This time it’s being held at an ancient Monastery , high in the Mountains nearby Rome.
After about a week of studying, conferences and generally enjoying each others companionship, it’s time to head back home to Rome. They load into the bus and head off down the mountain.
Unfortunately the brakes fail on a sharp bend and the bus goes over the side, down 1000 feet into a ravine. So there they were, all 30 Cardinals standing before the Pearly Gates.
Through the gates walks Saint Peter. “So your the Cardinals then” he says. “ Alright, I know what you were like on earth, I want each Cardinal that was a fornicator on earth to take a step forward so we can send you to purgatory.”
29 Cardinals step forward.
“You as well you deaf bastard” says Saint Peter in a loud voice.
