A minister 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 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 Cohen, taxi driver, of Noo Yawk City."

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."

The taxi driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and
it's the minister's turn.  He stands erect and booms out, "I
am 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," says Saint Peter.  "While you
preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."
