A priest and a bus driver are waiting at the gates of Heaven...

Heard this joke whilst on holiday in Norway, I thought it was worth sharing.


In a rural mountainous village, both a local bus driver and a priest are waiting at the gates of heaven. Saint Peter arrives, and firsts asks the priest why he should be allowed into heaven. "I've been teaching the ideas of Christianity for 50 years, I think I deserve to be in heaven after devoting my life to Christ." St Peter then turns to the bus driver: "Well, I've been transporting people up and down the mountains for 50 years, I think I deserve to be in heaven as I've helped everyone dearly"


St Peter thinks, then allows the bus driver to walk through but not the priest. Outraged, the priest asks: "Why was I not allowed in but the bus driver was!?" St Peter replies: "Your lectures were boring, everyone was falling asleep and not paying respect to God! However, when the bus was driving up and down mountains, everyone was alert and saying their prayers!"
