Ministers

> Three ministers and their wives decided to take their vacations together,
> renting an RV and spending their time off traveling. But early in the trip,
> they were in a terrible accident, and all of them were killed.
>
> At the Pearly Gates, St. Peter stopped them and told them he would have to
> check their records on earth, even though they had been men of the cloth.
>
> Peter shook his head after reviewing the first minister's record. "I'm
> sorry to say that you can't enter the Kingdom of Heaven," he said. "All of
> your life you have lusted after alcohol. You haven't acted on it, but you
> have desired it--and desiring is as bad as acting on the desire in the eyes
> of the Lord. You even went so far as to marry a woman named Sherry." The
> minister and his wife were turned away from the gate.
>
> The second minister fared no better. "You can't enter the Kingdom of
> Heaven because all of your life you have lusted for money. Being a man of
> the cloth, of course, you've lived frugally despite your desire for great
> riches. You haven't acted on it, but you have desired it--and desiring is as
> bad as acting on the desire in the eyes of the Lord. You even went so far as
> to marry a woman named Penny." That minister and his wife were turned away
> from Heaven.
>
> The third minister stopped St. Peter. "Don't even bother to check my
> record," he said. "Come on, Fanny, let's go."
