handplane Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 They were 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though theywere far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched theirpennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely dueto the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last 2decades.One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacationand their plane unfortunately crashed, sending them off to HeavenThey reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He tookthem to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fullystocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen,hanging their favorite clothes in the closet.They gasped in astonishment when he said, "Welcome to Heaven. Thiswill be your home now."The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost."Why, nothing," Peter replied; "remember, this is your reward in Heaven."The old man looked out the window and right there he saw achampionship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever-built onEarth. "What are the greens fees?" grumbled the old man."This is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play for free, everyday, any time of day that you want."Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, withevery imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks toexotic desserts, free flowing beverages. "Don't even ask," said St.Peter to the man. "This! is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife. "Well,where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?"he asked."That's the best part," St. Peter replied. "You can eat and drink asmuch as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get fat or sick.This is Heaven!"The old man inquired, "No gym to work out at?""Not unless you want to," was the answer."No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...""Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself."The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your darn branmuffins. We could have been here twenty years ago!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
