The pastor at the Pearly Gates
A Baptist Preacher dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses the 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 Jack, retired airline pilot from Houston, Texas."
Saint Peter consults the Book of Life. He smiles and says to the pilot, "Take the silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom." The pilot goes into heaven with his beautiful robe and fine staff.
Next, it's the Baptist Preacher's turn. He stands tall and proudly announces, "I am Pastor Bob, Pastor of the First Baptist Church for the past 43 years."
Saint Peter consults the Book of Life again. He says to the Pastor, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom."
"Just a minute", says the Pastor. "That man was a pilot and he gets a beautiful silk robe and a golden staff and all I get is cotton and wood. How can this be?"
"Up here Pastor, we go by results, " says Saint Peter. " When you preached - people slept. When he flew, people prayed."
