Subject: A woman finds herself outside the Pearly Gates,


A woman finds herself outside the Pearly Gates, where
she is greeted by St. Peter. "Am I where I think I
am?" she exclaims. "It's so beautiful! Did I really
make it to heaven?"

To which St. Peter replies, "Yes, my dear, these are
the Gates to Heaven. But you must do one thing before
you can enter."

Very excited, the woman asks what she must do to pass
through the gates.

"Spell a word," St. Peter replies.

"What word?" she asks.

"Any word," answers St. Peter. "It's your choice."

The woman promptly replies, "The word I will spell is
love. L-o-v-e."

St. Peter congratulates her on her good fortune of
making it into Heaven and asks her if she will take his
place at the gates for a moment while he goes to the
bathroom.

"I'd be honored," she says, "but what should I do if
someone comes while you are gone?"

St. Peter instructs her to require any newcomers to
spell a word, just as she had done.

So the woman takes St. Peter's chair and watches the
beautiful angels soaring around her, when lo and
behold, a man approaches the gates. It is her husband!

"What happened?" she cries. "Why are you here?"

Her husband explains, "I was so upset when I left your
funeral that I got into an automobile accident. Now I
am here, ready to join you in Heaven."

"Not just yet," the woman replies. "First you must
spell a word."

"What word?" he asks.

"Czechoslovakia."
