Consider this: This Jew dies and an angel says he may enter, but he has to stand on a very long line. He stands there, and waits and waits and waits and waits and waits, when, all of a sudden, a guy in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck walks past the whole line, goes to the front and walks into Heaven. Many folks on the line ask the angel why that doctor gets to cut the line, and the angel says, “Oh, that’s G-d, he thinks he’s a doctor.”
