A doctor, lawyer, and a Rotarian in charge of fundraising
all die and arrive at the Pearly Gates about the same time.
St. Peter tells them they may each have one thing
to take with them to Heaven. The doctor is first and asks
for $1 million. This is given and proceeds to enter Heaven.
The lawyer, not to be outdone, asks for $2 million.
"Very well," said St. Peter and opens the gate to Heaven for the lawyer.
Finally, it is time for the Rotarian, who had just finished
a fundraising project for The Rotary Foundation.
St. Peter asks him what he would like to take to Heaven.
The fundraiser moves up very close to St. Peter,
and in a soft voice asks, "If it's not too much trouble,
could I just have the names of those two people
who were ahead of me in line?"
