“Hello there …” says the Saint, “welcome to your final destination. You’ll like it here … it’s all about love. Can you spell love?”
“L … O … V … E …” says the man.
“That’s great,” replies St Peter with a smile, “you can come in!”
At this point the telephone rings and St Peter answers it. After a while he says to the new arrival:
“You’ll have to excuse me a minute … there’s something I have to attend to … it’s those Catholics … they’ve lit all the incense and set off the fire alarms … and they keep arguing amongst themselves … I have to go and sort them out!
“Can you stay here at the Gates for a while until I return?”
Moments later a woman arrives at the Gates and the man recognizes his wife.
“What are you doing here?” he asks, “you’re quick to follow me … I haven’t even had time to Rest In Peace and here you are following me.”
“Well … yes …” she mumbles, “after your funeral … the hearse was speeding to the pub and it got off the road … and here I am!”
“Oh …” he replies, remembering a lifetime of nagging.
“What’s it like here?” she asks her husband, “does it need re-decorating? I've seen some lovely wallpaper ..."
He raises his eyebrows and says nothing.
"Don't be like that ..." she goes on, "is it easy to get in Heaven?”
“Very easy …” he replies, “this fellow, Peter, is very easy going … all you have to do is spell a word and you’re in.”
“That’s great …” she smiles enthusiastically.
“Can you spell Rachmaninoff?”
Ha … That’s a good one. I’ve never heard this joke before!!!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If God had not meant us to laugh He would not have created the "dolphins" within us which are released when we laugh, and they tickle us from the inside, and make us laugh more! Dolphins are good for our health. They are released when we laugh.
HaHa. (Rolling the eyes). You did make me chuckle though.
ReplyDeleteYou see Bill, St Peter was right. Heaven is all about love. God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son. Jesus commanded us to love God and to love one another. Not once did He mention Rachmaninoff. It is all about love. Pity some people today have still not got the message.
DeleteGod bless you, my friend.
I have never heard about Dolphins within us...
ReplyDeletethat explains a lot.
Yep ... it's a medical fact. Laughter releases dolphins within us. I heard a doctor say it at a medical conference once. He was drunk at the time, though.
DeleteGod bless you, Ryan.
Heeheehee! Lots of dolphins released when i read your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's good Mimi. It's good to be tickled inside. Invite your friends here to be tickled too.
DeleteGod bless.
New joke for me, too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes Kathy. I had never heard this joke until I wrote it on my Blog. Then I laughed.
DeleteGod bless you.
I didn't see that one coming … but love it!
ReplyDeleteNow, if you'll excuse me, I need to practice pronouncing Rachmaninoff. (Yep, it's that good; one I'll be repeating.)
I am so glad that you enjoyed this joke, Mevely. It's good to laugh.
DeleteGod bless you.
Brilliant, Victor! Thanks for the laugh today, and reminding us about those playful dolphins who love to make us feel better inside.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
It's a medical fact about dolphins, Martha. The more we laugh the better we all are. Life is too serious these days.
DeleteGod bless my friend.
