The guy looks OK, but he wants to be sure. &#8220;Have you ever done anything of particular merit?&#8221; St. Peter asks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I can think of one thing,&#8221; the man replies. &#8220;On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of high-testosterone bikers threatening a young woman. I warned them to leave her alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s impressive,&#8221; the gatekeeper says. &#8220;Then what happened?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, they wouldn&#8217;t back off, so I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground. I yelled, &#8216;Now back off, biker boy, or you&#8217;ll answer to me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s really brave,&#8221; St. Peter said, clearly impressed. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t have it in your paperwork.

He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: &#8220;Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get back $1,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: &#8220;I have lost taste in my mouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Engineer: &#8220;Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient&#8217;s mouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: &#8220;This is Gasoline!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Engineer: &#8220;Congratulations! You&#8217;ve got your taste back. That will be $500.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: &#8220;I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Engineer: &#8220;Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient&#8217;s mouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: &#8220;But that is Gasoline!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Engineer: &#8220;Congratulations!
