A Place In Heaven

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 cool 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 a Pilot, Peter, retired Delta Airlines from Georgia."  Saint Peter
consults his list. He smiles and says to the pilot,  "Take this silken
robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom."  The pilot goes into
Heaven with his robe and staff.

Next it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am
Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's in Pasadena for the last  43 years."
Saint Peter consults his list.  He says to the minister, "Take this
cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom."

"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a pilot and he gets a
silken robe and golden staff, and I get only cotton and wood.    How can
this be?"

"Up here, we work on results," says Saint Peter.  "When you preached -
people slept; when he flew - people prayed.
