John Elway, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God showed him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Broncos flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, John," said God.

"This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." John felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a Green & White & Silver sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Eagles logo flag, and in every window, an Eagles emblem. John looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro quarterback, I won 2 Super Bowls, and I even went to The Hall of Fame." God said, "So what's your point John?" "Well, why does Donovan McNabb get a better house than me?" God chuckled, and said "John, that's not Donovan's house, it's mine."

Go Eagles!

I'll try. God is a christian's idea of the creator of the universe. We often attribute human characteristics to him, probably in error even accepting God's existence. Heaven is where the human soul goes after the body dies. Since nobody's ever come back, we really cannot say what the experience would be like. In this joke, John Elway, a famous football player, supposedly died and went to heaven. God had provided him with a modest house there which John appreciated. Then he noticed another house, a much better one, which he assumed belonged to another football player, Donovan McNabb. John was asking God why Donovan got a much better house than John did when he, John, was the better football player. God told him that the house belonged to Him, God, and not to Donovan.

Thre reason it's funny is that it implies that God prefers the Eagles as a football team.
