The pearly gates...

A man appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

"Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asked.

"Well, I can think of one thing," the man offered. "On a trip to the
Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers, who were
threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they
wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed
biker and smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out
his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, "Now, back off!!
Or you'll answer to me!"

St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?"

"Just a couple minutes ago."
