A cab driver reaches the Pearly Gates and announces his
 presence to St.  Peter, who looks him up in his Big Book.
 Upon reading the entry for the cabby, St. Peter invites him to
 grab a silk robe and a golden staff and to proceed into Heaven.
 
 A preacher is next in line behind the cabby and has been
 watching these proceedings with interest.  He announces
 himself to St. Peter.  Upon scanning the preacher's entry in
 the Big Book, St. Peter furrows his brow and says, "Okay, we'll
 let you in, but take that cloth robe and wooden staff."
 
 The preacher is astonished and replies, "But I am a man of
 the cloth. You gave that cab driver a gold staff and a silk robe.
 Surely I rate higher than a cabby."
 
 St. Peter responded matter-of-factly:  "Here we are interested
 in results.  When you preached, people slept.  When the cabby
 drove his taxi, people prayed."
