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 awful day when you died. The
policy would go into effect at noon the next day.
The next day at 12.01pm, the first person came to the gates
of
Heaven.The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, said to
the man, "Before I can let you in, you have to tell me what was
happening in your life the day on which you died."
"No problem," the man said. "I came home to my 25th floor apartment
during my lunch hour and found my wife half-naked. I thought she
was having an affair, but her lover was nowhere in sight.
Immediately, I began searching for him. My wife was shouting at me
as I searched the apartment. Just as I was going to give up the
search, I looked out onto the balcony and saw there was a man
hanging over the edge by his fingertips!
Well, I ran out onto the balcony and jumped on his fingers until he
fell to the ground. But he landed in some tress and bushes that
broke his fall, and he didn't die! I was so mad that I went back
inside to fetch something that I could throw at him. Strangely, the
first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. So I unplugged it,
pushed it to the balcony and tipped over the side. It fell the 25
storeys and crushed the man.Unfortunately all this excitement was
too much and I had a heart attack and died instantly!!"
The Angel sat and thought for a moment. Technically, the man did
have a bad day. It was crime of passion. So he announced, "Okay,
sir.Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.
A few seconds later the next person came up. The Angel said,
"Before I can et you enter, I need to know what was happening to
you on the day you died."
"No problem," said the second man. "But you are 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 think I 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 suddenly,this crazy man comes running out
of his apartment, swears at me, and jumps on my fingers! Well, I
fell and just before I hit the ground, I landed in some trees or
bushes which I broke my fall. But I didn't die immediately.
As I am lying there, looking up, unable to move, and in great pain,
I notice the crazy man push his REFRIGERATOR off the balcony. It
falls 25 floors and lands on top of me - killing me
instantly!"
The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as the man finishes his
story. "I think I like this new policy," he says to himself.
"Okay," say the Angel to the second man. "Welcome to the Kingdom of
Heaven." And he lets the man in.
A few seconds later, a third man comes up to the gates. The Angel
says,"Please tell me how you died."
The third man says, "You will never believe this. I am naked,hiding
inside a refrigerator................."
