Three deaths in an hour - they would all have been alive if they had been dancing
Saint Peter
is seeing all of the new arrivals trying to go through the pearly gates in
Heaven. The first applicant of the day explains that his last day was not a
good one.
"I
came home early and found my wife lying in bed with no clothes on. She claimed
she had just gotten out of the shower. Well, her hair was dry and I checked the
shower and it was completely dry too. I knew she was into some hanky-panky and
I began to look for her lover. I went onto the balcony of our 9th-floor
apartment and found the guy clinging to the rail by his fingertips.
I was so
angry that I began bashing his fingers with a flower pot. He let go and fell,
but his fall was broken by some awnings and bushes. On seeing he was still
alive I found super human strength to drag our antique cedar chest to the
balcony and throw it over. It hit the man and killed him. At this point the
stress got to me and I suffered a massive heart attack and died." Saint
Peter thanked him and sent him on to the waiting room.
The second
applicant said that his last day was his worst..."I was on the roof of an
apartment building working on the AC equipment and I stumbled over my tools and
toppled off the building. I managed to grab onto the balcony rail of a
9th-floor apartment but some idiot came rushing out on the balcony and bashed
my hands with a flower pot.
I fell but
hit some awnings and bushes and survived, but as I looked up I saw a huge chest
falling toward me. I tried to crawl out of the way but failed and was hit and
killed by the chest."
Saint Peter
couldn't help but chuckle as he directs the man to the waiting room. Saint
Peter is still giggling when his third customer of the day enters.
He
apologizes and says "I doubt that your last day was as interesting as the
two fellows that arrived here just before you."
I don't
know" replies the man. "Picture this, I'm naked, hiding in this cedar
chest.....
