Three men die and find themselves in front of pearly gates facing St. Peter. St. Peter turns to the first man and asks, "How many times have you committed adultry in your life?"
The first man timidly replies, "Only about twentyfive or thirty times."
St. Peter thinks and says, "Well, that's probably not too bad. I'll give you a Geo Metro to drive around the kingdom of heaven." The car appears and the man drives off happily into heaven.
Then, turning to the second man he asks the same question. The second man replies, "Maybe 15 times over the course of my life."
St. Peter shrugs and says, "Well, I guess that's pretty good. I'll give you a little bigger car to drive around the kingdom of heaven. A Saturn should do." The second man drives off gleefully into the afterlife.
Then he turns to the third man and asks, "How many times have you commited adultry?"
The third man looks at him and states, "Not once. I have been faithful and devout to my wife all of my life. I would never cheat on her."
St. Peter looks at him in amazement and says, "Wow, that is really outstanding. I am going to give you a Cadillac to drive around the kingdom of heaven."
The third man drives off. About a week later, as chance would have it, all three men stop at the same intersection. The man in the Metro and the Saturn look over at the man in the Cadillac and notice him sobbing. Curious, they ask, "You were faithful to your wife and you got your just reward. You got to drive around in a bigger car than either of us. Why are you sobbing?"
The man in the Cadillac replied, "I just saw my wife go by...on a SKATEBOARD!" |
