A very old family fave for Sean

St. Peter was showing a new arrival around heaven, taking him from area to area, room to room.

"This is where the Pentacostals like to gather."

He opens the door, and there's singing and shouting and "Amens!" and "Hallelujahs!"

"This is where a lot of the Catholics tend to gather."

He opens the door, and there are prayers and praises in latin.

Everyone in each room is friendly and raises a hand in greeting as the new arrival is introduced.

Until they get to one room where, instead of opening the door, St. Peter tiptoes by, instructing his charge to do the same. Once they get around the corner, the newcomer can't help but ask...

"Who was in that room?"

"Those are the Baptists. They think they're the only people here."

((No baptists were harmed in the making of this joke. I grew up in a baptist church and meant no offense to any baptists reading it though I'm sure at least one will declare me bound for hell for it. :P ))
