A CERTAIN TICKET TO HEAVEN

An R.C. priest stopped his car and asked the young fellow if he would like a lift. They boy accepted and got aboard. A converstion was started and eventually the priest asked the boy his name. "Jimmy Murphy, but I'm not one of your Murphy's Father. I'm not a R.C."

"What school do you go to?" "St. Joseph's, Father, but I'm not one of your Murphy's, Father, I'm a protestant."

Several other questions brought similar replies from the boy.

When the boy got out and was about ten feet from the car, the priest called him back and said, "Look, Son, when you get to the gates of heaven and St. Peter asks your name, just say it is Murphy, and leave it at that."
