Bill Gates died and went to Heaven.
Saint Peter showed him to his house, a small cottage on a tiny plot in the woods. The cupboards were full of simple but serviceable clothing, and the kitchen was stocked with no more than essentials. Bill slowly settled into a modest and quiet life in heaven.
One day, Bill was walking in one of Heaven's many fine parks, when he ran into a man dressed in a beautifully cut bespoke suit.
"That is a nice suit, my friend," said Gates. "Where did you get it?"
"Actually," the man replied, "I was given a hundred of these when I got here. I've been treated really well. I got a mansion on a hill overlooking a beautiful lake. I have a huge five-hundred acre estate, a golf course, tennis courts, a Rolls Royce, a Range Rover and a Ferrari."
"When you were alive, were you the Pope, or a health improving scientist or something?" asked Gates.
"No," said the well dressed man, "Actually, I was the captain of the Titanic."
Hearing this made Gates so confused that he immediately stalked off to find St. Peter.
Cornering St. Peter, Bill told him about the man he had just met, saying, "How could you give me a small house and only the basics of existence while you're showering new cars, a mansion, and fine suits on the Captain of the Titanic? I invented the Windows operating system! Why does he deserve better?"
"Yes, we use Windows here in heaven," replied Peter. “I am on Vista at the moment and I am saving for an upgrade but let me tell you Mr Gates, the Titanic only crashed once."
