A minister and a politician arrived at the Pearly Gates at the same time. After St. Peter gave them a rundown on life in heaven, he took them inside to show them where they would live.
He stopped first at a small rustic one room cabin with a bed, a desk, a cooking area, and toilet area for the clergyman.
Moving on, he next stopped in front of an opulent palace, complete with all the amenities expected in such a luxurious dwelling.
The politician was taken aback and asked St. Peter why the minister was provided such a humble abode and he such a magnificent one.
St. Peter explained, “You have to understand, we have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of ministers here in heaven, but you are the very first politician to make it.”
