Three preachers (a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Baptist) and their wives are all together for an extended vacation, but the RV they've rented gets involved in a horrible wreck and all six are killed.
As soon as they appear at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter walks out and asks if they need help. The Presbyterian minister steps forward and declares, "I am a Presbyterian minister, and my wife and I would like to get into heaven."
St. Peter stops him and says, "I'm sorry, but you have committed a mortal sin. According to the Great Book, you spent your whole life lusting for money. Although you never really made any money, you still lusted for it in your heart, and that's just as bad. It even says here that you lusted for money so bad that you wouldn't even get married until you met a woman named 'Penny.'"
As the Presbyterian walks away dejectedly, the Methodist steps up and asks for admission to heaven.
St. Peter stops him and says, "I'm sorry, but you have committed a mortal sin. According to the Great Book, you spent your whole life lusting for alcohol. Although you never drank a single drop, you still lusted for it in your heart, and that's just as bad. It even says here that you lusted for alcohol so bad that you wouldn't even get married until you met a woman named 'Sherry.'"
As the Methodist walks away dejectedly, the Baptist turns to his wife and says, "Come on, Fanny. You and I might as well get out of here."
