All arrivals in heaven have to go through a bureaucratic examination to determine whether admission
will be granted. One room has a clerk, who inputs computerized records
of what each applicant did on his or her last day of life.
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 naked in bed. 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 SOB 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.”
The clerk 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. 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.”
The clerk couldn’t help but chuckle as he directs the man to the waiting room.
He 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 buck naked hiding in this cedar chest …..”
