Cathedral Church of St Marie, Sheffield Everyone Welcome

A man dies and goes to heaven.

Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter says, "Here's how it works.

You need 100 points to make it into heaven

You tell me all the good things you've done,

and I give you a certain number of points for each item,

depending on how good it was.

When you reach 100 points, you get in."

"Okay," the man says,

"I was married to the same woman for 50 years

and never cheated on her, even in my heart"

"That's wonderful," says St.Peter, "that's worth three points!"

"Three points?" he says.
