A Priest And A Bus Driver

"A Priest And A Bus Driver"

A priest and a bus driver both died and went to
heaven at the same time. They get to the pearly
gates where St. Peter greets them.

He motions to the priest, and they both hop in a
jeep and go out the back door. There are about 50
acres of rolling hills with a little cottage on the knoll.
St. Peter turns to the priest and says, "This will be
yours for eternity. A perfect little cottage, right next
to a wishing well. Anything you wish on that wishing
well will come true guarantied."

The priest says, "Oh, thank you so much. This I shall
enjoy!"

St. Peter drops off the priest, goes back to the pearly
gates and motions to the bus driver. They hop in a
stretch limo and go out the front door. There are about
500 acres of land, with mountains and lakes and rivers.
There is a huge castle on one of the mountains with
about 200 rooms. St. Peter says, "This will be yours
for eternity. You can live in that castle with servants to
wait on you hand and foot, and you can have everything
you want."

The bus driver looks and St. Peter and says "Well, now,
don't think I'm not grateful, but shouldn't the priest get
all this, not me? Shouldn't I get the cottage and 50 acres
instead?"

St. Peter just laughs and says, "The reason you get all
this is because when the priest preached, everyone fell
asleep. Now, when you drove your bus, people prayed!"

"Don't Despair"
{There is a message in there, but I just can't
figure out what it is... - LadyHawke}

A nun was sitting at a window in her convent one
day when she was handed a letter from home.
Upon opening it a $10 bill dropped out. She was
most pleased at receiving the gift from her home
folks, but as she read the letter her attention was
distracted by the actions of a shabbily dressed
stranger who was leaning against a post in front
of the convent.

She couldn't get him off her mind and thinking that
he might be in financial difficulties. She took the $10
bill and wrapped it in a piece of paper, on which she
had written, "Don't despair, Sister Eulalia." She threw
it out of the window to him. He picked it up, read it,
looked at her with a puzzled expression, tipped his
hat and went off down the street.

The next day she was in her room saying her prayers
when she was told that a man was at her door who
insisted on seeing her.

She went down and found the shabbily dressed
stranger waiting for her. Without saying a word he
handed her a roll of bills. When she asked what the
bills were for he replied, "That's the sixty bucks you
have coming. Don't Despair paid 5-1."
