Re: Joke Of The Day

A priest dies and goes to heaven.
when he gets to the pearly gates there is a chap in front of him in a loud shirt, beach shorts and sunglasses.
St Peter beckons this chap forward, asks his name to see if he is on the list of admissions.
The man tells him that his name is Jack Salmon and he is retired airline pilot.
St Peter gives him a silken robe and a golden staff and welcomes him.

St Peter the turns his attention to the priest.
Tell me you name so that i can determine whether you can be admitted,
The Priest tells him that he is Father Bob Friedman, a priest of 43 years standing at the Church of St Mary and all Angels.
St Peter beckons him forward and gives him a basic cotton robe and a rough wooden staff.
'Hang on a minute...how come he gets silk and gold and I get cotton and rough wood?'

St Peter says 'well, up here we go by results....in the 43 years that you preached, your congregation slept.....when he flew, all the passengers prayed'
