A very very rich man realized he was nearing death. He was upset that he could not take his wealth with him, and started praying each day and night to take his wealth with him. An angel appears unto him and tells him, "Sorry, you can't take it with you." He implores the angel to speak with G-d, and bend the rule this one time. He continues to pray and finally the angel reappears, and says G-d, has decided to make this one exception, he will let you take one suitcase with you. The man gets his largest suitcase and fills it with gold bars, and places it along side his bed. He dies and shows up at the pearly gates. St. Peter says hold on you aren't allowed to take anything with you, that suit case can not come in here. The man tells him to check with thee Boss, that he has permission to bring one suit case with him. Sure enough St. Peter checks, and comes back and says, you're right the Boss says you can bring in one suitcase, but I have to check its contents. St. Peter opens the suitcase, and exclaims "You brought pavement?"
