A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates of heaven.
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and blue 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, stockbroker, of New York City."
Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the stockbroker, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
The stockbroker goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and trumpets blare upon his entrance, as the gates open.
Now, it's the minister's turn. He stands proudly and loudly states, "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 stockbroker, why does he get a silken robe and golden staff but I, a minister, only get a cotton robe and wooden staff ? How can this be ?"
"Well, up here, we work by results, not intentions," says Saint Peter. "When you preached, people slept.
However, his clients, now they REALLY prayed."
The way the stock market has been going lately, they better be praying hard !
