>Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the
>Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now,
>but our computer's down. You'll have to go back to Earth for
>about a week, but you can't go back as humans.  What'll it be?"
>
>The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, 
>soaring above the Rocky mountains."  "So be it," says St. Peter, 
>and off flies the first priest.
>
>The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will
>any of this week 'count', St. Peter?"  "No, I told you the
>computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're
>doing.  The week's a freebie."  "In that case," says the second
>priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud.""So be it," says St.
>Peter, and the second priest disappears.
>
>A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St.
>Peter to recall the two priests.  "Will you have any trouble
>locating them?" He asks. "The first one should be easy," says
>St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the
>eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
>
>"Why?" asketh the Lord.  St. Peter answered, "He's on a snow
>tire, somewhere in North Dakota."
