Bad day in Heaven
It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the
admittance policy. The new law was that, in order to get into Heaven, you
had to have a really bummer day on the day that you died. The policy would
go
into effect at noon the next day.
So, the next day at 12:01, the first person came to the gates of Heaven.
The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly asked the man,
"Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when
you died." "No problem," the man said. I came home to my 25th floor
apartment
on my lunch hour and caught my wife having an affair. But her lover was
nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was half
naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment. Just as I was
about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that
there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of that
guy!
Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on his fingers until he fell to
the ground. But wouldn't you know it, he landed in some trees and bushes
that broke his fall and he didn't die. This ticked me off even more. In a
rage, I went back inside to get the first thing I could get my hands on to
throw at him. Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of was the
refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped
it
over the side.It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him!
The excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died
.almost instantly"
The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have a
bad
day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel announces, "OK sir. Welcome
to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.
A few seconds later the next guy came up. To the Angel's surprise, was
Vernon Jordan. "Mr. Jordan, before I can let you in, I need to hear about
what your day was like when you died." Jordan said, "No problem. But
you're
not going to believe this. I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment
doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure so I was really
pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess got a little carried away,
slipped, and accidentally fell over the side! Luckily, I was able to catch
myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden
this
crazy man comes running out of his apartment, starts cussing, and stomps on
my fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the
bottom, which broke my fall, so I didn't die right away. As I'm laying
there
face up on the ground, unable to move and in excruciating pain, I see this
guy push his refrigerator of all things off the balcony. It falls the
25
floors and lands on top of me killing me instantly." The Angel is
quietly laughing to himself as Jordan finishes his story. "I could get used
to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very well," the Angel
announces.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets Vernon enter. A few
seconds later, President Clinton comes up to the gate. The Angel is almost
too shocked to speak. Thoughts of assassination and war pour through the
Angel's head. Finally he says "Mr..President, please tell me what it was
like
the day you died." Clinton says, "OK, picture this. I'm naked inside a
refrigerator..."
