Joe died and went to heaven. When he reached the pearly gates St. Peter met him and told him, "You have one more thing to do to get through the gates." Joe asked, "What is that?" St. Peter replied, "You must spell one word." Joe said, "You know I'm not very good at spelling, but what is the word?" So St. Peter said, "LOVE." Joe spelled it out, "L-O-V-E." Joe was then admitted beyond the pearly gates. After a time, St. Peter had an errand to attend to and asked Joe if he would guard the gates for him while he was gone. Of course Joe said he would. After a while Joe's wife appeared at the gates. He asked her, "Did you die?" She replied, "Yes, I had an accident." So Joe said, "You have one more thing to do to gain admittance through the pearly gates." She, in turn, asked what that thing was. He told her she would have to spell a word. Her response was, "You know I'm not at all good at spelling – but what is the word?" Joe replied, "Spell the word CZECHOSLOVAKIA." |
