Joke of the Month
A Minister of Religion died and went to heaven, While waiting to be admitted he stood behind another man.
“Who are you?” St Peter asked the man.
“I’m Joe Smith, taxi driver.”
St Peter consulted a register and then handed the man a lovely embroidered cloak and a golden staff. “Enter heaven,” said St Peter.
Then it was the minister’s turn. “I am the Reverend Walter Smythe and I have been the pastor of St Swithin’s church for the past 40 years.
St Peter had a quick look at his register, handed the minister a sackcloth coat and a wooden staff. “Enter Heaven,” said St Peter.
The minister angrily said, “I have been in the service of the Lord all my working life. How come a taxi driver gets a wonderful cloak and a golden staff and I just get this?” pointing to the coat and staff.
St Peter said, “Here we go by results. When you preach the people sleep. When he drives his passengers pray.”
