A young man with brown hair in a green polo and jeans stands before a robed, long-gray-haired figure (Saint Peter) seated at a cloud counter at heaven's gates. Saint Peter says, 'Listen, I forgot to bring my ledger in this morning. Were you good in life?' The man replies, 'I was good AT things. Does murder count? What about skipping church?' Votey: a close-up of the same man looking nervous, asking, 'Mortal sins?' The joke is that, asked to self-report, he keeps blurting out increasingly damning confessions instead of just saying he was good.
