Humor: The Pearly Gates

[slimster]

Three preachers and their wives were returning from a retreat when their plane crashed killing all onboard. Finding themselves at the pearly Gates, and understanding what had happened, they were all anxious to get inside. The first preacher and his wife approached the gate where they were confronted by Saint Peter himself. "St. Peter", says the preacher "we're ready to enter the Promised Land!" "Well" replies St. Peter "I'll just have to check the book here to make sure you're listed". "I'm a man of the cloth," says the preacher, "my name"s got to be there". "Well it ain't" replies St. Pete, "but there's a footnote here about you. It says you've been dipping your hand in the collection plate a little bit too much there padre, As a matter of fact, you're so money hungry and greedy, you even married a girl named Penny. You can't go in!" As the first couple heads for the elevator the second preacher and his missus step up. "We're ready to go in St. Peter" says number2. "Well you know the drill" says St. Pete as he looks in the book. "Nope, you're not here either. But there's a footnote here says you've been tilting the vestments a little too much. You're such a sot and an alky, you even married a girl named Brandy. You cant go in!" As couple number 2 head toward the elevators St. Peter levels his gaze at the third couple. Preacher number three just nudges his wife and says "Come on Fanny, ain't no need of us even asking".

I guess I'm in a poor humor today. It seems to me that Christ died for our sins .... all of them.

Maybe I take things too literally.

They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines."

Taken from the last lines of The Marine Corps Hyme....

If that's really true, I'll have no problem getting past the gate Not too sure about some of those who claim to be "Preachers."

IIRC, I heard that joke for the first time when I was in 8th Grade.

Like the saying goes, "That which is old shall be new again."

Yeah, but in your version, there was no elevator, just a grapevine
