A priest and a taxi driver arrive at the gates of heaven. The cab driver is let in immediately, whilst the priest is told to wait outside.
After several hours of waiting the now irate priest demands an explanation, “I’ve preached the word of the Lord for over 50 years and have been kept waiting for hours, but the taxi driver is let in immediately, with no questions asked. What’s going on?”
The gatekeeper looks at his notes and replies, “When you preached the people slept, but when he drove, the people prayed.”
