A woman found herself standing at the Pearly Gates.
St.
Peter greeted her and said, โThese are the Gates to Heaven, my dear.
But you must do one more thing before you can enter.โ
The woman was very excited, and asked of St.
Peter what she must do.
โSpell a word,โ St.
Peter replied.
โWhat word?โ she asked.
โAny word,โ answered St.
Peter.
โItโs your choice.โ
The woman promptly replied, โThen the word I will spell is love.
L-O-V-E.โ
St.
Peter welcomed her in, and asked her if she would mind taking his place at the gates for a few minutes while he took a break.
So the woman is left sitting in St.
Peterโs chair when a man approaches the gates, and she realizes it is her husband.
โWhat happened?โ she cried, โWhy are you here?โ
Her husband stared at her for a moment, then said, โI was so upset when I left your funeral, I got in an accident.
Did I really make it to Heaven?โ
โNot yet,โ she replied, โYou must spell a word first.โ
โWhat word?โ he asked.
The woman responded, โCzechoslovakia.โ
