Who Knew? Heaven Can Wait!

After living to a ripe old age, Dr. Jones, a world-famous surgeon, passed away during his sleep. He found himself at the back of an extremely long line leading up to the Pearly Gates.

After waiting what seemed like an eternity, Dr. Jones decided that he shouldn’t have to wait in line. He walked up to the Pearly Gates and said to St. Peter, “I’m Dr. Benny Jones, world famous surgeon. While on earth, I saved many lives and cured countless illnesses. I don’t think I should have to wait in this line.”

St. Peter curtly replied, “Here in Heaven, everyone is treated the same. Now go back to the end of the line.”

As he walked to the back of the line, he noticed a gentleman in a white lab coat with a leather bag and stethoscope, obviously a doctor, walk up to the front of the line. St. Peter waved him right through.

Furious, Dr. Jones ran up to St. Peter and shouted, “Why did that doctor get to go right through?”

St. Peter smiled and said, “Oh, that was God. Sometimes he just likes to play doctor.”
