St. Peter greeted him at the gate and told him he could come in, but his suitcase would have to be left. “That’s okay because I have an agreement with God to allow me one suitcase in heaven.” “That’s very unusual,” replied St. Peter. “Would you allow me to take a look inside?” The man opened the suitcase to reveal the shining gold bullion ingots.
