Indian Wanted To Be Prepared For St. Peter.

An Indian went into a store at a remote village and after paying up his account asked for a receipt. The dealer told him there was no neOd of receipt. “Me want receipt,” said the Indian. “Indian go to heaven and will have to show he pay his debts.” The merchant tried to enlighten the Indian on the hereafter and folly of carrying a receipt to the good place and the red man replied: “Me want receipt. When me go to heaven me have no time to look all over hell for you.” He got the receipt.
