Three members of the clergy arrived at the gates of
heaven at the same time.  They were informed by the
gatekeeper that each would have to pass one more test in

depend on the lives they had lived on earth.

The first clergyman merely nodded assent, the second
clergyman merely smiled and looked a little puzzled,
and the third clergyman flew into a long winded tirade.  He
could not understand why a man of the cloth - who had
served seven different churches - who had built up a 2
million member TV ministry - who had founded a college -
etc.,etc., would have to be subjected to ANY test of
admission. 

When the third clergyman had at last run out of steam, the
gatekeeper reminded them that the test would be simple and
depend on the lives they had lived on earth.  The gatekeeper
turned to the first clergyman and asked him to spell
God.  He did, passed his test, and went inside.  The
gatekeeper, then, turned to the second clergyman and asked
him to spell Holy Spirit.  He did, passed his test, and went
inside.  The gatekeeper, then, turned to the third 
clergyman and asked him to spell CHRYSANTHEMUM ...........
