May I Come In?
JOKE OF THE WEEK, 11 Aug 2014
Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Servie
After a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the Gates of Heaven. She asked Saint Peter “May I please come in?” “First you have to spell a word,” Saint Peter told her. “Which word?” the woman asked. “Love,” he said. The woman correctly spelled “Love” and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
About six months later, Saint Peter came to the woman and said, “I have an appointment today, I am busy all day, could you please watch the Gates of Heaven for me for one day?” She said, “Sure, no problem.”
While she was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived. “I’m surprised to see you,” the woman said. “How have you been?” “Oh, I have had a wonderful time since you died,” her husband told her. “I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the big prize in the lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a big mansion. And my new wife and I made a trip around the world. Today I was water skiing in Greece, but the ski fell off and hit me on the head, so here I am. Can I come in?”
“First you must spell a word,” the woman told him. “Which word?” her husband asked.
“Czechoslovakia,” she said triumphantly.
