On
their way to a justice of
the peace to get married,
a couple has a fatal car
accident. The couple is
sitting outside heaven's
gate waiting on St.Peter
to do an intake. While waiting,
they wonder if they could
possibly get married in
Heaven.
St. Peter finally shows
up and they ask him.
St. Peter says, "I
don't know, this is the
first time anyone has ever
asked. Let me go find out,"
and he leaves.
The couple sits for a couple
of months and begin to wonder
if they really should get
married in Heaven, what
with the eternal aspect
of it all. "What if
it doesn't work out?"
they wonder, "Are we
stuck together forever?"
St. Peter returns after
yet another month, looking
somewhat bedraggled. "Yes,"
he informs the couple, "You
can get married in Heaven."
"Great," says
the couple, "but what
if things don't work out?
Could we also get a divorce
in Heaven?"
St.
Peter, red-faced, slams
his clipboard onto the ground!
"What's wrong?"
exclaims the frightened
couple.
"Come on!" St.
Peter exclaims, "It
took me three months to
find a priest up here!
Do you have any idea how
long it's going to take
for me to find a lawyer!?"
