Heaven

[AnOther]

The  couple were 85 years old and had been married  for sixty years.  Though they were far from  rich, they managed to get by because they  watched their pennies.

Though not young,  they were both in very good health, largely due  to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and  exercise for the last decade.

One day, their  good health didn't help when they went on a rare  vacation and their plane crashed, sending them  off to Heaven.

 

They reached the  pearly gates, and St.Peter escorted them inside.   He took them to a beautiful mansion,  furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully  stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master  bath.  A maid could be seen hanging their  favourite clothes in the closet.

They gasped  in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to  Heaven.  This will be your home now.'  

The old man asked  Peter how much all this was going to cost.   'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember,  this is your reward in Heaven.'

The old man  looked out the window and right there he saw a  championship golf course, finer and more  beautiful than any ever built on  Earth..  

'What  are the greens fees?,' grumbled the old man.  

'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied.   'You can play free, every  day.'  

Next they went to  the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch,  with every imaginable cuisine laid out before  them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts,  free flowing beverages.

'Don't even ask,'  said St. Peter to the man.  This is Heaven,  it is all free for you to enjoy.'

The old  man looked around and glanced nervously at his  wife.

'Well, where are the low fat and low  cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?,'  he asked.  

That's  the best part,' St. Peter replied.  'You  can eat and drink as much as you like of  whatever you like and you will never get fat or  sick.   

This is Heaven!'

The old man pushed,  'No gym to work out at?'

'Not unless you  want to,' was the answer.

'No testing my  sugar or blood pressure or...'

'Never again.   All you do here is enjoy  yourself.'  

                                              

The  old man glared at his wife and said, 'You and  your f....ing bran Flakes, we could have  been here ten years ago!'
