Subject: Pearly Gates
When St Peter looked up over 1000 folks from New Orleans were converging on
the Pearly Gates.
Never having had more than one or two persons a day from New Orleans
before, he ran to God and asked him what to do.
God told him, "Don't worry, St Peter. There's been a terrible flood down
there; that's the reason for the large number of New Orleanians showing up
at once."
St Peter ran back to the Pearly Gates then ran right back to God
yelling, "They're gone, they're gone!"
God said calmly, "St Peter, a thousand people could not be gone
that quickly."
St Peter said, "No, the Pearly Gates! They're gone!"
