Alex Ferguson, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Manchester United flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Alex," said God.
"This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Alex 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 three-story mansion with a black and white sidewalk, 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Newcastle United flag and, in every window, the Magpie's logo.
Alex looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was a good coach, I won titles, hundreds of games and I even went to the hall of fame. So why does Bobby Robson get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said "Alex, that's not Bobby Robson's house, it's mine!"
