The Pearly Gates Auuuw

[Usarka]

Saint Peter was manning the Pearly Gates when forty people from South Auckland showed up.

Never having seen anyone from South Auckland at heaven's door, Saint Peter said he would have to check with God. After hearing the news, God instructed him to admit the ten most virtuous people from the group.

A few minutes later, Saint Peter returned to God breathless and said, "They're gone!"

"What? All of the people from South Auckland are gone?" asked God.

"No!" replied Saint Peter. "The Pearly Gates!"

40 Maori arrive at the Pearly Gates
With bare feet and silly painted faces
St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones up God, saying.
'I've got 40 Maori here from NZ.
Can I let them in?'

God says
'We are over the quota for Maori.
Go out and tell them to choose
Between them which are the 12 most worthy,
And I will let just the dozen in.'

Less than a minute later
St Peter is on the phone to God again.

'They've gone', he tells God.

'What?' says God, 'All 40 of them?'


"No, No, the 'Pearly Gates'.
