A gold miner died and went to heaven. At the gate, St. Peter asked, "What have you done in your life?" When the man gave him his occupation, St. Peter explained that there was already a surplus of miners in heaven.
"May I stay if I get rid of the others?" the fellow inquired.
St. Peter agreed and soon the miner was waundering around heaven looking for familair faces. When he finds them, he tells them that there was a gold strike in hell. Soon the place was empty of miners. But awhile later the miner asked St. Peter if he could leave. When St. Peter asked why, he said, "Even if I did start the rumour, there just might be something to it!"
