Got your 100 pts?

A man dies and goes to heaven. St Peter meets him at the gates of heaven.

“Here’s how it works”, says St Peter. “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, not even in my heart.”

“That’s wonderful”, says St Peter. “That’s worth 3 points.”

“Only three points?” the man says, looking a bit dejected. “Well, I attended church all my life and supported the ministry with both my tithes and my service.”

“Terrific!” says St peter. “That’s certainly worth a point.”

“One point?” Now the man really looks worried. “I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for the homeless. That’s got to count for something.”

“Fantastic, that’s good for two more points”, says St Peter.

“Two points?” the man cries. “At this rate the only way I’ll get to heaven is by the grace of God.”

“Bingo, 100 points!!” cries St Peter. “Come on in!!”
