An elderly parishioner died and went to Heaven. Upon his arrival, he saw Father John, his lifelong mentor, stretched out on a chaise lounge, next to a swimming pool. An unbelievably beautiful woman in a bathing suit was dropping grapes into his mouth.
"Father," exclaimed the parishioner, "I'm so glad to see you here! Of course, I never doubted you would be here, but...well frankly, I never once thought of all this" --- waving his hand to include the pool, the woman, the grapes --- "as your idea of Paradise!"
"You've got it all wrong," explained the priest. "This isn't my idea of Paradise. This is her idea of Purgatory!"
