There were three gentlemen waiting at the pearly gates. St. Peter comes
out and says, "I've got some disappointing news for two of you. We are having
some problems in our admissions area. I can only let one of you come into
heaven today. I can get the other two tomorrow, but only one today."
St. Peter continued to explain, "The person who can tell the best story
how they died will be the one who comes in to heaven today." The gentlemen
thought this was fair. The first man stood up to St. Peter and began: "I
knew my wife was cheating on me, I rushed home from work, flew open the door
and there she was, lying on the couch, naked. I knew I caught her! I ran all
through the apartment. Upstairs, downstairs, under the bed, in the closets,
Nothing! I was just about to apologize to her when I heard a Scratch, Scratch,
Scratch at the window. I opened the window and there he was, hanging from the
windowsill. I grabbed a skillet and banged him on the head. I watched him
fall down down, but he landed in some bushes. I was still flaming with adrenaline!
I edged our refrigerator over to the window and it was just about to fall when I
noticed my coat was hooked to the frige. So down I fall to my death." St. Peter
couldn't help but be shocked! He said, "That was a great story! You are sure to
be the winner today." The next man steps up and says, "Well, I was a window
washerman. I was doing my job one afternoon when all of a sudden the ropes broke
and I'm falling to my death. I had my arms raised up to God praying to catch me.
At one moment my hands caught a window ledge, I was saved!! I was giving my thanks
and trying to get the people inside to open the window by scratching at the window
when all of a sudden a crazy man opened the window and beaned me with a skillet.
Once again I was falling to my death. But once again, I was being watched. I fell
into a nice group of bushes. As I opened my eyes to thank God, a refrigerator was
screaming down at me. That is my story." St. Peter was stunned. He looked at the
last man and said, "You better have a good story, because the last man had a doozy!"
The last man smiled and said, "OK, picture this, Naked, hiding in a refrigerator..."
