The Musician

Saint Peter is checking ID's at the Pearly Gates, and first
comes a Texan. "Tell me, what have you done in life?" says
St. Peter.

The Texan says, "Well, I struck oil, so I became rich, but I
didn't sit on my laurels--I divided all my money among my
entire family in my will, so our descendants are all set for
about three generations."

St. Peter says, "That's quite something. Come on in. Next!"

The second guy in line has been listening, so he says, "I
struck it big in the stock market, but I didn't selfishly
just provide for my own like that Texan guy. I donated five
million to Save the Children."

"Wonderful!" says Saint Peter. "Come in. Who's next?"

The third guy has been listening, and says timidly with a
downcast look, "Well, I only made five thousand dollars in my
entire lifetime."

"Heavens!" says St. Peter. "What instrument did you play?"
