While standing in line at the Pearly Gates, a minister stood sizing up the applicants. The guy in front of him was obviously wealthy, with a tailored suit and expensive briefcase. When they got to the gates, St. Peter asked the well-dressed man, “So what was your occupation?” The man answered, “I was a politician.” St. Peter ran over and hit a huge gong. Immediately full choirs of angels appeared, singing a joyful chorus. A golden carpet rolled out, leading to one of the biggest mansions in all of heaven. The minister thought to himself, “Well, if a politician gets that sort of welcome, I can hardly wait to see what I get!” So he stepped up to St. Peter and announced, “I was a full-time minister for 40 years, working day and night for God.” Without even looking up, St. Peter handed him a rather ordinary key and pointed him to a nice, but not particularly spectacular bungalow-mansion. “There must be some mistake,” the minister replied. “That politician got a hero’s welcome, but I only get a smallish house.” St. Peter replied, “we’ve got a lot of ministers up here, but he’s our first politician!” see also   Heaven,  Political  &  Religious  Sections Be Nice To America Lie Clock Politics 101 Two Cow Capitalism Two Cow Politics   Good Boy British Tea Party Roadside Assistance Chair Boy Cheers Beer African Airstrip Horsepower vs Torque Filling Up Is OverRated Flywood Ukraine Aid Handicap Motorcyclist Auto Warranty: New Extend-ed Coverage Messerschmitt UNinvolved Plane Oops!
