I've only heard it told with a Pope dying and going to heaven, and wanting to read the original Bible. Of course, that would always afford me the opportunity to point out two outrageously unbelievable things about that joke: a) a Pope who doesn't know how to spell ("celebate"?!) and b) a Pope who dies and goes to heaven.
