In front of him in line is an old man in well worn jeans and an equally worn leather jacket. The old man get's to the front of the line and St. Peter says "state your name and occupation please"
He says "Simon Burch, NYC taxi driver for 30 years"
St. Peter checks his list and smiles, "here" he says "take this silk robe and golden staff and enter the kingdom of Heaven"
Seeing this, the priest comes up and, when asked, booms "I am Robert Eaton, Servant of the Lord and Priest for the last 50 years"
St. Peter checks his list "Ahh yes, here. Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the kingdom of heaven"
"There must be some mistake" says the priest "I spent my whole life serving the Lord, why would that taxi driver get better treatment than me?"
St. Peter looks back at the taxi driver and chuckles
"Oh" he says "Up here we go by results"
"When you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed"
