Well, recently President Obama dispatched Bill Clinton, as a popular ex-President, to the Middle East, in the hope that he might find a way to peace there. Bubba's plane stopped in at Rome and picked up the Pope, who was to attend the summit as well; but the plane suffered engine trouble over the Mediterranean, and crashed into the sea, killing all aboard.
Naturally, the sudden rush of business caused a lot of confusion at the Pearly Gates, and in the confusion, Clinton was let into Heaven, while the Pope was sent to the Nether Regions.
Of course, the Pontiff was pretty hot about the screw-up, so when he got to Hell's Atrium he demanded a phone. The startled demon in charge handed him the Hotline, and when St Peter picked up, off the Pope went: "You %^*$! I spent my entire life a virgin, and this is the thanks I get?" and so on, until St Pete breaks in: "Your Holiness, listen, we made a mistake. Give me a few minutes, I'll get this straightened out, just you cool your heels. We're on it."
A few minutes later the phone rings, and the Pope is told he can make his way up to Heaven.
On the escalator going up, who does he happen to meet but Bubba coming at him on the down escalator. "I'm sorry you're going there, my son," says the Pope.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll be running that place in no time. How're you?"
"I'm thrilled to be finally meeting the Blessed Virgin."
Clinton gives his famous chuckle. "Heh, Your Holiness, you're about fifteen minutes late."
