They all arrive at the Pearly Gates and Saint Peter says โLet me ask you a question before admitting you to heaven.โ
To the first he says โMy son, while on Earth did you lead a good life?โ
โOh yes, โ says the first man,โ I had thirty years of marriage to a wonderful woman and I was honest in businessโ
โI see here in the book youโre telling the truthโ, says Saint Peter, โhere are your keys to a brand new Mercedes to drive in Heavenโ.
To the second he says โMy son, while on Earth did you lead a good life?โHe answers โSaint Peter I was married for several years and then cheated on my wife but we reconciled.โ
โI see here in the book youโre telling the truthโ, says Saint Peter,โ here are your keys to a used Ford Taurus to drive in heaven.
โThe third man steps up and says,โ Saint Peter, lemme save us both a lot of trouble.
I screwed everything in a skirt and never passed up a shot at dirty moneyโ
โWellโ, says Saint Peter, โthe book says youโre telling the truth, awful though it is.
Here is a moped to ride in heavenโSeveral days later the third man pulls up to a red light only to see the first man slumped over the wheel of his Mercedes, crying.โWhat could possibly be so bad?
โ, he asks.โYou had a wonderful life, a great marriage and now youโre driving a Mercedes in Heaven!
โ
The first man sobs out โI just saw my wife on a skateboard!
