At the Pearly Gates

Two brothers died at the same time and arrived at the Pearly gates together, where they were interviewed by St Peter. He said to the first brother, “Have you been good during your life on earth?”

He replied, “Oh, yes, your saintliness, I’ve been honest, sober and industrious, and I’ve never messed around with women.”

“Good lad,” said St Peter and gave him a beautiful, gleaming white Rolls-Royce. “There’s your reward for being a good boy.”

Then he said to the other brother, “And what about you?”

He said, “Well, I’ve always been very different from my brother. I’ve been crooked, drunk, idle, and a devil with the women.”

“Ah well,” said St Peter, “boys will be boys and at least you’ve owned up to it. You can have this,” and he gave him the keys to a clapped out old Mini.

The two brothers were about to get in their cars when the one who’d been naughty started roaring with laughter. The other one said, “What’s so funny then?”

He said, “I’ve just seen the Vicar riding a bike!”
