Subject: The Pearly Gates

A man appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter asked. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?"

The man responded. "Well, I can think of one thing, once, on a trip to the
Black Hills of in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers, who were
threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they
wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker
and smacked him in his face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring
and threw it on the ground.

I yelled, "Now, back off!! Or I'll kick the crap out of all of you!"

St. Peter was impressed and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just a couple of minutes ago..." said the man
