Laughter Is Good For The Soul




Three men were at the pearly gates of heaven waiting to enter. But before going in, the angel had a question. The angel said "just out of curiosity how did you get here"? In other words, what events led to you being here?

The first man said." I came home early from work one day to my penthouse apartment, and much to my disappointment. I walked in and saw men and women clothes, scattered on the bedroom floor. I saw my wifes bathrobe, and a mans shoe. I smelled cigarettes, and me or my wife didn't smoke. My wife was in the shower, but she was alone.I knew something was going on. I looked in the closet, and under the bed. I looked everywhere and saw no one. Just at that moment I looked out the window, and saw a man downstairs running out the door. He had on one shoe, and his shirt hanging on one arm. He was digging in his pocket, trying to find his keys. He was just about to get away. I knew I couldn't possibly catch him, twenty floors below. I thought,what in the world can I do? I looked over in the corner, and saw a refrigerator. So I pushed it out of the window, it landed on top of him. It killed the man downstairs instantly. He didn't get away. The angel was like man that's incredible, but how did you get here? The first man said "In the midst of all the chaos, I got so excited. I had a massive heart attack, and dropped dead on the spot".

The angel asked the second man the same question. The second man said " I was running late for work one day, I had overslept. I couldn't be late anymore, or I was going to get fired. I didn't have time to get fully dressed in the house. So I was putting my clothes on,as I went out the door. I managed to get one shoe on, and forgot the other. I was working on my shirt. I ran out the front door of my apartment building, and was headed for my car. I had just found my keys, when all of a sudden this refrigerator came from an upstairs window. I saw it coming, but I couldn't get out of the way in time. It dropped on me, and that's the last thing I remember. The angel was like go right in man, you deserve a break.

Then the third man came up, and the angel asked him the same question. The third man said to the angel. "The truth be known, I was hiding in this refrigerator".
