A Cab Driver Goes To Heaven

[Marcel in Longueuil]

A cab driver reaches the Pearly Gates and announces his
presence to St. Peter, who looks him up in his Big Book.
Upon reading the entry for the cabby, St. Peter invites him
to grab a silk robe and a golden staff and to proceed into
Heaven.

A preacher is next in line behind the cabby and has been
watching these proceedings with interest. He announces
himself to St. Peter. Upon scanning the preacher's entry in
the Big Book, St. Peter furrows his brow and says, "Okay,
we'll let you in, but take that cloth robe and wooden staff."



The preacher is astonished and replies, "But I am a man of
the cloth. You gave that cab driver a gold staff and a silk
robe. Surely I rate higher than a cabby."


St. Peter responded matter-of-factly: "Here we are
interested in results. When you preached, people slept.
When the cabby drove his taxi, people prayed."

Navy Joke

A Navy Chief and a Cardinal arrive at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter tells the Chief, "Just drop your seabag here and walk up this golden road to that big mansion on the hill. Your butler will welcome you at the door and we'll have your driver pick up and deliver your bag". He then tells the Cardinal, "pick up your bags and carry them down this brick road and locate the address written on this piece of paper. You're in the duplex on the left". The Cardinal can't believe his ears!! He tells St. Peter "I've been a faithful and obedient man of the cloth my whole adult life. Why do I get a duplex and you put a wayfaring sailor in a mansion"? St. Peter replies," We're up to our armpits in Cardinals....we have only ONE Navy Chief "!!!
