It seems that Prospector Joe had led an honourable life, having lied only once or twice. So when he died, he was met at the gates of Heaven by St Peter.

"Unfortunately, our cloud for prospectors is completely full," said St Peter, "You'll have to spend some time in Hell."

"Can I say just five words to the boys?" asked Prospector Joe

St Peter replied positively, so Prospector Joe wandered over to the cloud, and yelled "They found gold in Hell!"

Well, the cloud was empty before the words were even out of his mouth. Joe wandered back to St Peter, and kept on going. "Wait!" said St Peter, "There's lots of room now."

"Sorry, can't stop now." Prospector Joe replied, "There just may be some truth to that rumour!"
