New Yorkers At The Gates

One day at the entrance to heaven, St. Peter saw a New York street gang walk up to the Pearly Gates. This being a first, St. Peter ran to God and said:

- God, there are some evil, thieving New Yorkers at the Pearly Gates. What do I do?

God replied:

- Just do what you normally do with that type. Re-direct them down to hell.

St. Peter went back to carry out the order and all of a sudden he comes running back yelling:

- God, God, they're gone, they're gone!

- Who, the New Yorkers?

- No, the Pearly Gates.
