THe professor and the taxi driver

[Don (W5IT)]

A professor has just died and is standing in line waiting to be judged and admitted to Heaven. While waiting he asks the man in front of him about himself. The man says, "I am a taxi driver from New York City."


The angel standing at the gate calls out next, and the taxi driver steps up. The angel hands him a golden staff and a cornucopia of fruits, cheeses, and wine and lets him pass. The taxi driver is quite pleased, and proceeds through the gates.


Next, the professor steps up to the angel who hands him a wooden staff and some bread and water.


The professor is very concerned and asks the angel, "That guy is a taxi driver and gets a golden staff and a cornucopia! I spend my entire life teaching and get nothing! How can that be?"


The angel replies, "Up here we judge on results?all of your people sleep through your lectures?in his taxi, they pray."
