Never Forget To Laugh!

Two men arrive at the Pearly Gates of heaven and wait in line for St Peter. After an hour of waiting they are at the front of the queue. St Peter asks the first man his name, where he is from, and what he did in his life. 

The man answers, "I'm John Smith, and I was a taxi driver in New York City." St Peter looks in his book, then gives the man a robe made of silk and a golden staff (like a walking stick -

Moses had one!) and welcomes him to heaven for his eternal reward.

Then St Peter asks the second man the same questions. The man replies, "My name is Paul O'Malley, and I was a Catholic priest in Chicago. "St Peter looks in his book, then gives the man a robe made of cotton and a wooden staff and welcomes him to heaven for his eternal reward.

The man looks confused and says, "Wait a minute! Why did that taxi driver get a silk robe and a golden staff while I, a Catholic priest and a man of the Lord, only get a cotton robe and a wooden staff?"

St Peter smiles, and replies, "Rewards in heaven are based on results on earth. While you preached, people slept. But while John Smith drove, people prayed."
