Heaven An 85-year-ol couple, after being married for almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mainly due to her interest in health food and exercising. When they reached the Pearly
Gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, which was decked out with a
beautiful kitchen, master bath suite and a Jacuzzi. As they looked around, the
old man asked St. Peter how much all this was going to cost. "It's free," St.
Peter replied, "This is Heaven." Next they went out in the
back yard to survey the championship-style golf course
which the home adjoined. They
would have golfing privileges every day, and each week the course
changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth.
The old man asked, "What are the green fees?" St. Peter replied, "This is Heaven, you play for free." Next, they went to the
clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisines of the world
laid out. "How much to
eat?" asked the old man. "Don't you understand
yet? This is Heaven, it is free!" St. Peter replied, with some exasperation. "Well, where are the low
fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly. St. Peter lectured,
"That's the best part - you can eat as much as you like of whatever
you like and never get fat and you never get sick.
This is Heaven." With that, the old man became
very upset, threw down his hat and stomped on it, screaming wildly.
St. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him
what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault! If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"
