Dr. Smith died. When he got to the pearly gates, there was a very large crowd of people waiting to get into heaven. Dr. Smith went up to St. Peter and said “I’m Dr. Smith, and I want to get in there.”
St. Peter told Dr. Smith “Yes…yes…you need to go to the back of the line.”
Dr. Smith became indignant, and said “You don’t understand…my name is DOCTOR Smith!”
St. Peter again told him that he needed to go to the back of the line. Angrily, Dr. Smith complied.
Then Dr. Jones died. He went through the same scenario of going around the crowd and telling St. Peter that he wanted to enter the gates. As was Dr. Smith, Dr. Jones was told he needed to go to the back of the line and wait his turn.
“But you don’t understand! I am DOCTOR Jones!” He cried.
He was told again to go to the back of the line. As Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones stood in line commiserating, they saw another man walk around the crowd and approach St. Peter. This man was wearing a white lab coat and had a stethoscope around his neck. He said something to St. Peter, then entered the gates of heaven. Now Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones were irate!
“How come he did not have to wait in line?” Dr. Smith bellowed.
A guy further up the line replied “Oh, that’s just God. He thinks he’s a doctor!”
