A catholic priest died and as he came to the Gates of Heaven, there was another man trying to get in at the same time. He recognized this was a bus driver from his small Italian town and greeted him. The priest knew well this man had a bit of a problem with finding more forgiveness and spirit from a bottle than from his sermons.
Then when St. Peter came to let them in, he first shaked hands with the bus driver and was going to go through the technicalities and introductions with him. The priest gets upset and yells "Hey, but what about me, am I not going first? I was the God's shepard for over 40 years!" St. Peter walked back to him and started explaining in a calm voice: "You see, when you were preaching every Sunday, the whole congregation snored, but when he was driving them to church, everybody prayed".
