Another philosophical joke

A man dies and goes to the Judgment. Saint Peter meets him at the Gates and says, “Before you meet with God, I thought I should tell you—we’ve looked at your life, and you really didn’t do anything particularly good or bad.We’re not sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make our decision?” The applicant thinks a moment and replies,“Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a woman who was being harassed by a group of bikers. So I pulled over, got out my tire iron, and went up to the leader of the bikers. He was a big, muscular, hairy guy with tattoos all over his body and a ring through his nose. Well, I tore out his nose ring and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering the woman or they would have to deal with me!” “I’m impressed,” Saint Peter responds. “When did this happen?” “About two minutes ago.”
