Tragically, three friends d.i.e in an horrific car c.r.a.s.h, and they suddenly find themselves at the gates of heaven.
St. Peter meets them at the gates and says, “Before I allow you to enter heaven I have to ask each of you a simple question.”
They look at each other, a little confused, and then wait for the question.
“When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning upon you, what would you like to hear them say about you?”, asks St. Peter.
The first guy thinks for a moment and then replies, “I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time… and a great family man.”
The second guy thinks for a little longer, scratches his head and replies, “I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference to our children`s tomorrow.”
The last guy ponders for a brief moment and then replies, “I would like to hear them say……LOOK!!! HE`S MOVING!!!!!”
A good man passed away and went to heaven.
He was greeted by St. Peter, who congratulated him and said he could have anything he wished.
The fellow requested something to eat and a telescope so that he could look around.
While eating the sandwich provided to him, he peered through the telescope down at the folks in hell and saw that they were feasting on prawns, chicken tikkas, mutton chops, karahi paneer and desserts.
“How come people down there are eating gourmet food?” He asked St. Peter. “I earned a place in heaven, but you gave me only a sandwich!”
“Well,” replied St. Peter apologetically, “it doesn’t pay to cook for just two.”
Determined to “take it with him” when he died, a very rich man prayed until the Lord gave in.
There was one condition: He could bring only one suitcase of his wealth.
The rich man decided to fill the case with gold bullion.
Then one day, he died. St. Peter greeted him at the gate and told him he could come in, but his suitcase would have to be left.
“But I have an agreement with God,” said the man, “to bring one suitcase in heaven.”
“That’s very unusual,” replied St. Peter. “Let me look inside that suitcase.”
The man opened the suitcase to reveal the shining gold bullion. St. Peter was amazed.
He asked, “Why in the world would you bring more pavement to heaven?”
