A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is
a
guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, a leather jacket, and jeans.
Saint Peter asks the guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to
admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi-driver of Noo Yawk City."
Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver, "Take
this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it's the
minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of
Saint Mary's for the last 43 years."
Saint Peter consults his list and says to the minister, "Take this cotton
robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi-driver and he gets
a
silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?"
"Up here, we work by results," says Saint Peter. "While you preached, people
slept; while he drove, people prayed."
