A Funny Joke

A clergyman, a builder and a politician stood outside the Pearly Gates, waiting for admission.
“I’m sorry, gentlement”, Saint Peter said, “but the gates are broken.”
The builder took a look at the gate, then offered to repair them for 20 bucks.
“Why 20 dollars?” Saint Peter asked.
“Ten dollars for my labor and ten dollars for the material,” the builder explained.
“What about you” Saint Peter asked the clergyman. “Can you fix them?”
“Yes, for thirty dollars. Ten for the orphans’ fund, ten for the church’s building fund, and ten for the poor box.”
“And you, can you fix them?” Saint Peter asked the politician.
“Of course,” the politician replied. “But I’ll need $120.”
“A hundred twenty dollars?”
“Well, fifty’s for me, fifty’s for you, and for twenty bucks, I can get the builder to fix them.”
