GOOD ONE

A South African Local Pastor 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 Sipho Mlangeni, Taxi driver, from Soweto, South Africa,
boss."

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 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," explains Saint Peter. "While you
preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."
