One day, the Lord went for a walk in heaven. He took everyone with him except Peter. Peter was instructed not to let anyone enter while the Lord was gone. While diligently guarding the gate, an honest, but slick talking tailor approached. Peter figured him for a thief and refused him admittance. The man begged and said that he had only removed insignificant clothing scraps. "Besides," he argued, "I'm limping and I'll do all the dirty work in heaven --even wash babies' diapers and mend their tattered clothes."
