A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud
shirt, leather jacket and jeans. Saint Peter addresses him,
"Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you
into the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New
York."
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."
Now it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms
out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint
Mary's for the last forty-three years."
Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister,
"Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom
of Heaven."
"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi
driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff???"
"Results," shrugged Saint Pete. "While you preached,
people slept; when he drove, people prayed."
