A priest and a cab driver are walking up the steps to heaven ....

On the long way up, they start talking about their lives. Soon the priest realizes that there's no chance the cab driver will enter heaven: He starts feeling a little sorry for the poor fellow. Finally they arrive and knock on the door. The priest can't help but thinking what a shame the cab driver should walk all this way in vain.

Saint Peter comes out, and as the priest expected he looks most doubtful from one to the other and back again. Saint Peter takes a quick peek back inside and then turns towards the two men. "I'm terribly sorry but right now there's only room for one more person, just wait here a second". He goes back in and closes the door.

As the priest expected they were going to turn down the cab driver so he starts to say some comforting words when Saint Peter comes back out.

He points at the cab driver, "you, you come in. Sorry priest there wasn't room for you this time".

Now the priest feels a deep anger growing inside: "Why!?" he's looking directly at Saint Peter. "My whole life I have upheld all the commands and the word of the holy book. Every Sunday I preached in church and gave my little flock hope. This man" He points at the cab driver "has done nothing good in his life, he has done drugs, he has whored, he's forsaken God and the church. How can he get in while I cannot?".

"Now priest" Saint Peter with his stern look at the priest. "every Sunday you did indeed preach in the church and after half an hour, unerringly the congregation were fast asleep. However, after only two minutes in this cab driver's car even the toughest guys were begging the Lord for mercy"
