Club Cricketer
I found this in Darrel Hair's Autobiography, so give him the credit, not me.
It's from the days when they still had "local" umpires
A West Indian umpire dies and is greeted at the Pearly gates of heaven by St Peter.
"What honest deed have you accomplished on earth that would entitle you to residence in Heaven?" asked St Peter
"Well St Peter, I was a cricket umpire, and to prove my honesty and integrety to the people of the world, I gave Brian Lara out LBW during a test match in Trinidad," replied the umpire.
St Peter was very impressed: "That was very noble of you and certainly proves you are welcome here, please come in. By the way, who won the test?" he added.
"No-one yet- I gave Lara out yesterday and today is only day two," said the umpire.
