A Joke for Today. “Does the Ex-Husband Know How to Spell?”
A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven one day after she died.
While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she was peeking through the holy heavenly gates. There, she saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around that beautiful banquet table was her parents and all of the other people who loved her and who she loved too, and who had died before her too early of a death she believed.
They saw her and they started calling out all sorts of greetings to her like, “Hello. How are you? We have been waiting for you. Good to see you! Etc.”
When Saint Peter came by to see her, the woman said to him, “This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?”
Saint Peter replied, “You have to spell a word.”
“What word?” she asked.
Saint Peter answered her, “LOVE.”
She knew that was very easy. “L O V E.”
So, Saint Peter welcomed her into the Pearly Gate of Heaven.
About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman, and he asked her to watch the Pearly Gates of Heaven for a short period of time.
While the woman was watching the Pearly Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived, so she said to him, “I’m surprised to see you here.”
He replied to her, “Oh yes. Well, I have been doing pretty good since you died.”
He continued, “I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you when you were sick. And I won the multi-state lottery, so I sold that little house you and I lived in and then I bought a huge mansion to live in. Very big indeed. And my wife and I have traveled all around the globe, visiting all sorts of very cool places, eating great food, seeing the sites, and of course, listening to great music from all around the world while we drank wine and danced to music.”
“We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head hard, and here I am today. What a bummer! How do I get into the Pearly Gates of Heaven?”
His ex-wife replied to him, “You have to spell a word.”
The ex-husband asked her, “What word?”
She smiled at him, with her eyes wide open. “Czechoslovakia!”
