An American, a Scot and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident.
They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of
them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the
toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished,
the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.
"Well, " said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was
a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were
standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said
that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $50, we
could return to the earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and
gave him the $50, and the next thing I knew I was back here."
"That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the
other two?"
"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over
price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."
