A minister has just died and is standing on line waiting to be judges
and admitted to Heaven. While waiting he asks the man in front of
him about himself. 'I'm a taxi driver from Noo Youk Cidy' Suddenly
the angel standing at the gate calls out next, and the taxi driver steps
up. The angel hands him a golden staff and a cornucopia of fruits,
cheeses and wine and lets him pass. The taxi driver is quite pleased,
and proceeds through the gates. Next, the minister steps up to the
angel and the angel hands him a wooden staff and some bread and
water. The minister is very concerned and asks the angel, 'That guy
is a taxi driver and gets a golden staff and a cornucopia! I spend my
entire life as a minister and get nothing! How can that be?' The
angel replies, 'Up here we judge on results, all of your people sleep
through your sermons, in his taxi, they pray.'
