Three people from different parts of the country passed away
at the same time. All were met at the gates by St. Peter.
The first was an
architect from California. Peter said, "You've built beautiful buildings
and served men on earth, but before you come in you have to pass one small
test, spell 'God'".
"G-O-D," replied the architect and St. Peter waved
him through.
The second person to approach was a rancher from Texas.
Peter looked at him and said, "You've served man upon the earth by
providing food through the cattle you've raised but before you come in there's
just one small test, spell 'GOD'".
"G-O-D", said the rancher and Peter waved him
through.
The third person was an attractive businesswoman from New
York. Peter said, "You've served the world of commerce, but before you
come in you'll have to pass one small test."
At this the woman interrupted, "Oh come on now
Saint," said the woman, "I've had to fight for every promotion I've
ever gotten. I've had to take lower pay for the same job as a male
colleague, and I've been continually harassed by bosses and peers for one
reason, my gender. And now here I am and you're giving me a hard time too; what
kind of test? Let's get it over with."
Peter thought for a moment and said, "Spell
Czechoslovakia"
