Subject: For God, For Country...

After a Harvard grad dies and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on
tour. He shows the man a little two-room house with a faded Harvard banner
hanging from the front porch.  "This is your house, sir.

Most people don't get their own houses up here," God says.

The Harvard grad looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one
sitting on top of the hill. It's a huge multi-level mansion with white
marble columns and little patios under all the windows. A series of gazebos
surround a placid, crystal lake.  Yale flags line both sides of the sidewalk
and a huge Yale banner hangs between the marble columns.

"Thanks for the house, God.  But let me ask you a question.  I get this
little two-room house with a faded banner, and an arrogant,obnoxious Yale
grad gets a mansion with new Yale banners and flags flying all over the
place. Why is that?"

God looks at him seriously for a moment.  After letting the Harvard grad
endure an uncomfortable silence, God replies:

"I beg your pardon.  That's not just any Yale grad's house, That's mine!"
