A preacher and an alcoholic cab driver both died the same day and went to Heaven.

When they arrived at the gate, St. Peter greeted them. The cab driver got there first, so Peter gave him his beautiful, shiny robe and a beautiful set of wings to go with it.

"Wow," the preacher thought to himself. "If he got all that just being a cab driver, then think of how beautiful my robe and wings will be since I am a preacher!"

Peter called the preacher up front to get his robe and wings. His robe was a simple cotton robe and his wings were sort of small compared to the cab drivers wings.

Bewildered, the preacher decided to ask Peter what happened. So he went back to Peter and asked him, "Why did the cab driver get such a beautiful robe and wings and I, a preacher, get simple cotton?"

Peter smiled and replied, "When you preached, people went to sleep. When he drove they prayed."
