A man appears before Gabriel at the pearly gates.
**”Have you ever done anything of particular merit?” Gabriel asks.**
**”Well, I can think of one thing,” the man offers. “Once, on a trip to the Black Hills, out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of high-testosterone bikers who were threatening a young woman.**
**I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground, and told him, ‘Leave her alone now, or you’ll answer to me.'”**
**Gabriel was impressed. “When did this happen?”**
**”A couple of minutes ago.”**
