(Told over the holidays by my Lutheran mother-in-law.) 



A recently demised fellow was being given a tour of Heaven. St. Peter explained that Heaven not only had room enough for everybody, there were rooms for everybody. 



He opened the first door, explaining, ``This is the Catholic room,'' and inside the new arrival could see a large group of people kneeling and saying Hail Mary. 



The next room was a noisy one--shouts of ``Amen!'' and ``Hallelujah!'' could be heard through the door. ``The Baptist room,'' explained Peter. 



The third room was silent, filled with contemplative souls. ``Presbyterians,'' Peter said. 



When they came to the fourth room, Peter stopped the newcomer. ``Shh!'' he said. ``Be very quiet. These are the Lutherans, and they don't think anybody else is here.''
