Who Are Those People?

A man died and went to heaven.

St. Peter asked, “What denomination are you?”

And the man said, ” I don’t belong here, I don’t go to church”

St. Peter said, “Well, we don’t make mistakes, you belong here, lets just walk around and you can see where you’d like to stay.”

So they walked down the hall, and St. Peter opened a door and there were all these pews with people kneeling and praying and crossing themselves.

“I know who they are,” said the man.

“Yes,” answered St. Peter.

“Well, I don’t want to stay here,” said the man, and they walked on down the hall.

St. Peter opened the next door.  Inside were all these pews with people sitting straight up staring ahead.  “Who are they” asked the man.

“Those are the others,” answered St. Peter.

“Well, I don’t want to stay here,” said the man and they walked down the hall.

The next room they came to, St. Peter opened the door and a big puff of smoke came out and the man smelled coffee.  The man looked inside and there were all these people laughing and hugging and they got in a big group hug and said the serenity prayer.

The man said, “I like these people, who are they?”

St. Peter said, “I don’t know.  They won’t tell us”
