begun, he noticed the cab driver was particularly wild weaving in and
out of traffic.  After a near accident here and there, they were involved
in a traffic accident that claimed both of their lives.

Upon arrival to heaven, they were both allowed inside of the pearly
gates whereupon the minister and cab driver were both taken to their
respective mansions.  The minister noticing that his mansion was just
a little smaller than the cab drivers' mansion.

After a while, the minister sought God out to ask a question.  When he
found God he asked:  "God, I served you all of my life.  Dedicated my
life to you.  Preached the gospel.  And as it turns out you've given
me a smaller mansion than the man whom was killed with me in a traffic
accident due to his poor driving.  Never once was his life reflective
of you in any way.  He never went to church.  Didn't even donate any
money to charities while he was living.  Why is it that his mansion is
a little larger than mine?"

God responded:  "You certainly served me.  While you preached, you put
the people in the congregation to sleep."  About the cabdriver, God said:
"On the other hand, when people got into this cabbies' cab, they began
to pray....."
