Pearly Gates

One morning St. Peter looked up and saw about 1000 folks converging
on the Pearly gates. Never having had this large of a group in such a
long while, he ran to God and asked him what to do.

God told him, "Don't worry, St Peter. There has been a terrible
storm and a flood in New Orleans. That's why all these people are
here at once." St. Peter ran back to the Pearly Gates and then ran
right back to God yelling,"They're gone! They're gone!"

God said calmly,"St. Peter those 1000 people from New Orleans could
not be gone that quickly."

St. Peter said, "No, not the people. It's the Pearly Gates! They're
gone!!!!"
