A woman dies and ends up at the pearly gates. There's a long line. St. Peter is asking people questions:
"Mrs. Sanchez. Let's see here... how much money did you make in your lifetime?"
The woman seems confused, says she can't recall.
"About 1.5 million euros," says St. Peter. "How much of that did you use to help others?"
Again she doesn't know.
"Over 70 percent! Welcome to heaven, Mrs. Sanchez."
The next man in line tells St. Peter that he made over half a billion in his life.
"And how much of that did you use to help others, Mr. Johnson?"
The man begins talking about the various charitable foundations his company created, his philanthropic giving...
"Mr. Johnson," Peter interrupts, "between the tax writeoffs and the circular charity you used less than one percent of your income to help anyone else."
Mr. Johnson's protest is cut short by the trap door beneath his feet. His scream echoes as he falls.
Eventually it is the woman's turn. Peter glances at her and then his huge ledger.
"Ms. Smith, how much money did you make in your lifetime?"
She thinks for a moment then Peter answers for her,
"Okay. It looks like you made about sixty thousand American dollars in total... what instrument did you play?"
