IJMC - Three Men and a Little Heaven
I know that I've likely sent this one out sometime in the past two years,
however I think it is worthwhile for today. Why? Because the Baptists
have problems with DISNEY! Of all people for the Baptists to have trouble
with, couldn't they have picked _anyone_ else? Oh well. Enjoy! -dave
======================================================================
3 men were standing in line to get into heaven one day.
Apparently, it had been a pretty busy day, though, so PETER had to tell
the 1st one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've
been asked to admit only people who have had particularly horrible
deaths. So what's your story?"
So the 1st man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my
wife has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to
catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell
something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where
this other guy could have ben hiding. Finally, I went out the balcony,
an sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors
above the ground! By now I was really mad, so I started beating on him
'n kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off. So
finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and starting
hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so
he let go and fell -- but even after 25 stories, he fell into the
bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran into the
kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge where it landed
on him, killing him instantly. But all the stress and anger got to me,
and I had a heart attack and died there on the balcony."
"That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said PETER, and let
the man in.
The 2nd man comes up and PETER explains to him about heaven
being full, and again asks for his story.
"It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor
of my apartment building, and every morning I do my exercises out on
my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something,
because I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing
of the balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on very
long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for
sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held
on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a
hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but
again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all
right. Jut when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this
refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly,
and now I'm here."
Once again, PETER had to concede that that sounded like a pretty
horrible death.
The 3rd man came to the front of the line, and again PETER
explained that heaven was full 'n asked for his story.
"Picture this," says the 3rd man, "I'm hiding naked inside a
refrigerator..."
