A priest and a butcher

A Buddhist priest and a butcher are good friends since childhood and they are neighbors.

Each morning, the priest wakes up and goes to the temple to pray, the butcher wakes up and slaughters pigs in the market. Whoever gets up earlier will wake up the other, as promised.

One day, they both died. The priest went to hell and the butcher went to heaven. Oops....that must be a mistake!

They met up with the God and were told "No mistake". The butcher wakes up the priest to pray in the temple and the priest wakes up the butcher to slaughter pigs. The butcher has been doing good deed and therefore sent to heaven.

Bottom line that counts.
