New Heaven's Policy
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 trees 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 stories 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 let 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................."
