And he never overcharged!A priest 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 him: ``Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven?'' The guy replies, ``I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New York'' Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver ``Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven'' Now it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, ``I am the Right Reverend 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 priest. '`That man was a taxi driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff???'' ``Results,'' shrugged Saint Pete. '`While you preached, people slept; when he drove, people prayed''
