Bob and Bill were brother masons and great
friends for most of their lives.
Each had agreed that when one of them passed
on to that Grand Lodge above, he would attempt
to make contact with the other and tell him all
about what heaven was like.
As so happened, Bill went to heaven, first.
One night Bob was just drifting off to sleep when
he heard Bill's voice calling to him.
"Is that you, Bill?
"Yes, Bob. I am honoring our agreement."
"Oh, MY,.... what's it like?" Bob asked with some
anticipation.
"It's like nothing you could ever imagine. The
lodge here is fantastic,... better than any lodge
we ever saw on Earth.
The meetings are always well attended, the ritual
is letter perfect, the friendship nights always
have tons of new people just itching to join, and
the spirit of fellowship blankets the entire place."
Bob's eyes teared up.
"Oh, my, it's just like we'd hoped. I'm so happy
for you. But I have to ask,... that sounds really
great, but you didn't really seem all that excited.
What's wrong?"
"Well, I have some good news and some bad. The
good news is that we're raising a fellow to the
third degree next Wednesday."
"That's fantastic. What's the bad news?"
"Your name is on the list to be the Senior
Deacon."

Lol...I love it
