There once was a rich man who was near death.
He was very grieved because he had worked so
hard for his money and he wanted to be able to
take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray
that he might be able to take some of his wealth
with him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him.
"Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you."
The man implores the angel to speak to God to
see if He might bend the rules. The man
continues to pray that his wealth could follow him.
The angel reappears and informs the man that
God had decided to allow him to take one suit-
case with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his
largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars
and places it beside his bed.
Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at
the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. Peter
seeing the suitcase says, "Hold on, you can't
bring that in here!" But, the man explains to
Peter that he has permission and asks him to
verify his story with the Lord.

Sure enough, Peter checks and comes back
saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on
bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before
letting it through."
Peter opens the suitcase to
inspect the worldly items that the man found too
precious to leave behind and exclaims,
"You brought pavement?!?"

St. Peter's response is funny because the streets of Heaven are paved in gold.

Cute Joke.
Heavy sigh to those that don't get the joke. Revelation 21:21
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
But even if you never read the bible 'streets paved with gold' is a popular metaphor.
