Father O'Flannagan dies due to old age. Upon
entering St.Peter's gate, there is another man in
front, waiting to go into heaven. St. Peter asks
the man, "What is your name what did you
accomplish during your life?"
The man responds "My name is Joe Cohen, and I
was a New York City Taxi driver for 14 years"
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your silk robe
and golden sceptre, now you may walk in the
streets of our Lord."
St. Peter looks at the Father, and asks "What is
your name and what did you accomplish?"
He responds, "I'm Father O'Flannagan, and
have devoted the last 62 years to the Lord."
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your cotton
robe and wooden staff, you may enter."
"Wait a minute," says O'Flannagan, "You gave the
taxi driver a silk robe and golden sceptre, why did
I only get a cotton robe and wooden staff?"
"Well," St. Peter replied, "We work on a performance
scale, you see while you preached, everyone slept,
when he drove taxis, everyone prayed!"
