The General

[cato2]

After an Army General dies and enters the pearly gates, God takes him on a tour.

He shows the General a little two-bedroom house with a faded Army flag hanging from the front porch.

"This is your house General," God says happily. "Most people don't get their own houses up here." The General Looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one sitting on top of the hill.

It's a huge, beautiful two-story mansion with white marble columns and little patios under all the windows. Marine Corps flags line both sides of the sidewalk and a huge Marine Corps Emblem hangs between the marble columns.

"Thanks for the house God," the General says. "But let me ask you a question. I get this little two-bedroom house with a faded Army flag, and that Marine up there gets a mansion with Marine Corps Emblems and Marine Corps flags flying all over the place. Why is that?"

God looks at him seriously for a moment and then says, "General, that's my house."
