Robinson looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe Rugby to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people from the grim North to the bright lights of Twickenham. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the terraces supporting their club." God looks up and offers Robinson the seat to his left.
He then turns to Sheridan, "and you, Andy, what do you believe?" Sheridan stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion are the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits." God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Sheridan the seat to his right.
Finally, he turns to Wilkinson, "and you, Johnny, what do you believe?"
"I believe..." says Wilkinson "that you are sitting in my seat."

I recently heard the same joke, just different players. Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney.
Rumsfeld believed there were beliefs that were believed beliefs and beliefs that were unbelieved beliefs.
Bush believe everyone who believed him was unbelievablly gooder.
And, of course, Cheney believed God was in his seat.
I thought the funniest part of the joke was that any of the three would ever see any part of heaven.
