Joe, The Taxi Driver


A minister dies and, resplendent in his clerical collar and colorful robes, waits in line at the Pearly Gates. Just ahead of him is a guy 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 Tamberino, taxi driver, of Noo Yawk City."

Saint Peter consults his list, smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff, and enter into the Kingdom."

So the cab driver enters Heaven with his robe and staff, and the minister is next in line.

He stands erect. Without being asked, he proclaims, "I am Joseph Snow, head pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years."

Saint Peter consults his list and says, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The minister says, "Just a minute. That man was a taxi-driver, and you issued him a silken robe and golden staff. But I get wood and cotton.
How can this be?"

Saint Peter says, "Up here, we go by results. While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed.
