I am not very certain where I first heard this joke, but let me share this with the readers anyway.

A fully loaded bus was driven by a reckless driver at a very dangerous speed while managing a long and winding road situated in a mountainous area. On both sides of the road were very steep ravines. As a result, almost all the pasengers, including a priest, were either praying or reading a comforting verse from the Holy Bible.

The most unthinkable thing happened - the bus fell into the ravine and nobody survived. As the souls of the victims were on their way to heaven, each were lining to enter a very wide gate which was guarded by one of the saints - let's just say, St. Peter.

A few distance in front of him, the priest saw the reckless driver enter heaven. However, when it was the priest's turn to enter the gate, St. Peter blocked him and said, "I'm sorry you cannot come to heaven!"

Shocked of the circumstance, the priest protested, "Look, you have allowed that reckless driver who killed all these passengers to enter heaven while I, a priest, cannot enter heaven! Now tell me there must be something wrong!"

St. Peter simply replied, "The problem is, whenever this driver drives the bus, all his passengers pray. However, whenever you preach a sermon or say a mass, all your congregation fall asleep.

Sorry, but praying and reading the Bible is no joke.
