A landlord and tenant both arrive at the Pearly Gates of St Peter and are waiting to enter.
St Peter becons to the tenant and he enters through the gates and tells the landlord he won't be too long and will return for him shortly.
St Peter opens the door to this palatial appartment with a marbled hallway with palms and Handel's Water Music in the background with several maids and servants on hand to whom he is introduced as his personal entourage. He is shown to his living room with its latest mutli-screen TV, stereo system and control panel where his every wish can be satisfied. The bathroom has a jacusi and hot tub, and all mod-cons.
He is the shown to his private gymnasium and swimming pool, next to which he has the use of a well stocked bar with fine wines, spirits beers etc. with a personal barlady with huuuuggggge jugs (geddit?)
St Peter leaves the tenant to wonder at his good luck and returns to the landlord.
The landlord is met at the gate by St Peter who says to him "Hurry up I haven't got all day - pick up your bag and follow me quickly". The landlord then is shown to a dusty room with a mud floor, bed frame with just a sheet and no mattress, bucket in which to wash and a small table and one chair on which to eat. The place has a small porthole window which overlooks a cesspit form which there is an awful smell. There is no other lighting except for a half-burnt candle.
He then asks where he can exercise and St Peter says "What exercise?" He then asks where he can get a drink and he's pointed to a well where the water appears to be less than desirable.
By this time the landlord is thoroughly fed up with all this having witnessed how the tenant had been treated.
"How come the tenant gets the most luxurious accommodation and I have to make do with this lot?" said the landlord. St Peter turns to him and says "Well - I get plenty of landlords in here all the time but I've never had a tenant before!"
