One day, a teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer all die and
go to Heaven. St. Peter's there and was having a bad day since
heaven was getting crowded When they get to the gate, St. Peter
informd them that there will be a test to get into Heaven: they
each will have to answer a single question.
To the teacher, he says, "What was the name of the ship that
crashed into the Iceberg and sunk with all its passengers?"
The teacher thinks for a sec, and then replies:" That would have
been the Titanic, right?". St. Peter lets him through the gate.
St. Peter turns to the Garbage man, and, figuring that Heaven
doesn't REALLY need all the stink that this guy would bring into
heaven, decides to make the question a little harder: "How many
people died on the ship?"
The garbage man guesses: "1228" "That happens to be right;
go ahead."
St. Peter turns to the Lawyer: "Name them."
Henry Ford dies and goes to heaven. At the gates, the guy tells Ford,
'Well, you've been such a good gut and your invention the car changed
the world. As a reward, you can hang out with anyone you want in
heaven.
So Henry Ford thinks about it and says: 'I want to hang out with Adam,
the first man.' -- So the guy at the gates points Adam out to Ford.
When Ford gets to Adam, Ford asks 'Hey aren't you the inventor of
woman?'
Adam says: 'Yes.'
'Well,' says Ford, 'You have some major design flaws in your invention :
1) There is too much front end protrusion
2) It chatters at high speeds
3) The rear end wobbles too much
4) and the intake is too close to the exhaust.'
'Hmmmmm..' says Adam, 'hold on'. So Adam goes to the celestial computer,
types in a few keystrokes, and waits for the results. The computer
prints out a slip of paper and Adam reads it. He then says to Ford, 'It
may be that my invention is flawed, but according to the stellar
computer, more men are riding my invention than yours.
The Chief Rabbi of Israel and the Pope are in a meeting in Rome.
The Rabbi notices an unusually fancy phone on a side table in the
Pope's private chambers.
"What is that phone for?" he asks the pontiff.
"It's my direct line to the Lord!"
The Rabbi is skeptical, and the Pope notices. The Holy Father insists
that the Rabbi try it out, and, indeed, he is connected to the Lord.
The Rabbi holds a lengthy discussion with Him. After hanging up the
Rabbi says. "Thank you very much. This is great! But listen, I want
to pay for my phone charges."
The Pope, of course refuses, but the Rabbi is steadfast and finally,
the pontiff gives in. He checks the counter on the phone and says:
"Allright! The charges were 100,000 Lira. ($56)
The Chief Rabbi gladly hands over a packet of bills. A few months
later, the Pope is in Jerusalem on an official visit. In the Chief
Rabbi's chambers he sees a phone identical to his and learns it also
is a direct line to the Lord. The Pope remembers he has an urgent matter
that requires divine consultation and asks if he can use the Rabbi's phone.
The Rabbi gladly agrees, hands him the phone, and the Pope chats away.
After hanging up, the Pope offers to pay for the phone charges.
This time, the Chief Rabb refuses to accept payment.
After the Pope insist, the Chief The Rabbi relents and looks on
the phone counter and says: "1 Shekel 50!" ($0.42)
The Pope looks surprised: "Why so cheap!?"
The Rabbi smiles: "Local call."
One day, Heaven suddenly became extremely full, and something had to be
done. So The Lord decided to have St. Peter wait at the gate and ask
everyone how they died. If it was a grisly story they told, they could
go ahead into Heaven. But if not, they had to go to Hell.
The first man walks up and St. Peter tells him what's happening. "You
see, Heaven is quite full today, and we have to ask everyone how they
died. If it sounds good, you can go ahead. But if not, you go to Hell."
"Ok," the man says. "Well, for awhile I've been suspecting my wife of
cheating on me. So today I thought I'd leave work early and catch her.
Sure enough, I got to my apartment building and she was lying naked on
the bed. I ran all over the apartment searching for the man but couldn't
find him. Then I remembered that we live on the 25th floor of an
apartment building, and we have a balcony. And there was the man,
hanging off my balcony. I beat at his hands and he just wouldn't let go,
so I ran and got a hammer and beat his hands until he fell into the
bushes below. I saw he was still alive so I got the refrigerator and
pushed over the edge on top of him. But the strain of the effort gave me
a heart attack and I died.
"Wow!" St. Peter said. "That really is bad! You can go ahead..." The
next man walked up and St. Peter gave his spiel about Heaven being full
and the man would have to tell his story.
"Ok," the second man said. "So I live on the 26th floor of an apartment
building, and everyday I do exercises on my balcony. Well, today I fell
over the edge, but luckily I caught the railing of the balcony below me.
But suddenly, this man came running out and started beating at my hands.
He ran back inside and I thought I was safe, but then he came back out
with hammer and beat my hands again. I finally fell off, but luckily I
landed in the bushes below and they saved my life. But that wasn't
enough for the man because he pushed his refrigerator over the edge and
it landed on me and killed me. And now I'm here."
"Wow, that's a good one too! You can go ahead..." The third man walked
up and St. Peter again gave his spiel about Heaven being full and the
man would have to tell his story of how he died.
"Ok," the third man said. "I don't know what happened. I was hiding
naked inside of a refrigerator..."
This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years,
had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last
ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise.
When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their
mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master
bath suite and Jacuzzi.
As they "oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much
all this was going to cost.
"It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven."
Next they went out back to survey the championship golf course
that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges
everyday 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?".
Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free."
Next they went to the club house 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!" Peter
replied with some exasperation.
"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol
tables?" the old man asked timidly.
Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you
like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get
sick. This is Heaven."
With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down
his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly.
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!"
