Last evening I was at a lecture by a Swamiji from India. Here is the joke he told us:

A priest and a stock broker died and went to heaven. The stock broker was given a grand red carpet welcome. The priest was just given a key and told where his place was. Puzzled the priest asked St. Peter abt the stock broker getting the royal treatment. St. Peter looked at the database of the two (he got everything on his desktop).

“Hmmm… let’s see. When u gave your sermon every sunday, people went to sleep. They forgot god at that time while sleeping during the sermon. Look at this stock broker. People had invested thru him. The stocks were volatile. Up, down, up, down, down. People were scared and prayed god everytime the stock prices went down, which was the case most of the time. So the stock broker was responsible for the people to pray god. Whereas u made them sleep during sermon. That’s why he is getting the royal treatment. Now take your key and vanish”

LOL.. This reminds me of another similar one.

A bus driver, when dead, reached heaven and got royal treatment... Surprised, he approached God and said,"Parampita... I never prayed in my life, most of the time I was drunk, even while driving, I used to do it rash... to the extent that.. whenever some turn comes up, I used to close my eyes!... So I think, there must have been some mistake that the guards have brought me here!"

He replied,"Nahi Beta, koi galtee nahi hoyee... You were responsible for all those passengers who used to pray, when you were driving drunk, and with eyes closed on blind turns... even those had prayed, who never did in their life.. but did it in your bus tours"

This God must be american.

This reminds me that one of the Reichmans (owners of Olympia & York - Canadian rags to riches folks) was training to a a rabi and ended up being one of the biggest capitalist in Canada.
