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, leather
jacket, and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses this 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."

St. 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 Calvary for the last
forty-three years."

St 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 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."
