An 85-year-old couple, after being married
for almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in
good health the last ten years, mainly due to her interest
in health food and exercising. When they reached the Pearly
Gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, which was decked
out with a beautiful kitchen, master bath suite and a Jacuzzi.
As they looked around, the old man asked St. Peter how much
all this was going to cost. "It's free," St. Peter replied,
"this is Heaven." Next, they went out in the back yard to
survey the championship-style golf course that the home was
located. They would have golfing privileges every day and
each week, the course changed to a new one representing the
great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, "What are
the green fees?" St. Peter replied, "This is heaven, you play
for free." Next, they went to the club house and saw the lavish
buffet lunch with the cuisines of the World laid out. "How
much to eat?" asked the old man. "Don't you understand yet?
This is heaven, it is free!" St. Peter replied, with some
exasperation. "Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol
tables?" the old man asked timidly. St. Peter lectured, "That's
the best part - you can eat as much as you like of whatever
you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This
is Heaven." With that, the old man went into a fit of anger,
throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and screaming wildly.
St. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking
him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said,
"This is all your fault! If it weren't for your blasted bran
muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"
