Year 2088...
A pastor dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. So happen I ended up queueing infront of him.
Saint Peter addresses me shortly, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
I replied, "I'm Bena, of Singapore, attend church only if it's convenient and pray only when I'm on the brink of death"
Saint Peter looks into his PDA. He smiles and says to the me, "Take this silken robe, diamond studded golden staff and Sony Vaio Pentium VIII laptop and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
I was like "HUH? Peter ah, you sure you got it correct or not? It's B-E-N-A-O -N-G leh."
Saint Peter checks against his Apple G7 desktop just to be sure and nodded his head.
I skipped happily into Heaven with my robe, staff and new toy.
It's the Pastor's turn. I thought it'll be good to have some company so I waited for him.
The pastor stands erect and booms out, "I am Rev. K, pastor of a 20000 member church for the last seventy years!"
Saint Peter consults his PDA once again and says to the pastor, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and this 2nd hand Pentium III Desktop enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Just a minute," says the pastor. "That man infront of me got much better stuff than me? How can this be? I think you PDA spoilt lah, sync with your desktop again just to make sure."
"Up here, we work by results!" Saint Peter rebuked him sharply.
"While you preached, people in your church slept; while he drove people around, people in his car prayed."
