An Irish Catholic Priest and a Jewish Rabbi were standing at the gates of Heaven talking to Saint Peter about who should be allowed in first.
" I spent most of my adult life teaching the Gospel and sharing Jesus with people everyday. I should go first, " said the Priest.
" Just you remember one thing, " said the Rabbi, pointing a discerning finger. " Jesus was not Catholic, he was a Jew. If not for a Jew, there would be no Catholic Church. "
Saint Peter asked them, " because of the lives you led on earth, you were both allowed to bring 7 things with you. Show me what you have brought ? "
The Rabbi quickly reached into his small carry bag and brought out a complete Kosher meal of Lox and bagels, pickle and a bottle of Mogan David Kosher Wine, and 2 wine glasses.
Next, the Priest opened his carry bag and pulled out 5 bottles of Irish Whiskey and two shot glasses.
The next day, Saint Peter and the Priest were sipping down a few shots of Irish whiskey when the priest asked, " so, did our friend the Rabbi ever get over you letting me in first ?. " No, " replied Saint Peter. In fact, I had to send him back to Earth. "
" Why was that," questioned the Priest ?
" He forgot the cream cheese. "
