Once there was a rich man who died and when he approached St. Peter he was carrying a very heavy suitcase. St. Peter stopped him and said that he could not carry anything with him through the pearl gate. The man was very upset about that and asked if it was possible to bend the rules just this once as he simply couldn't leave all his wealth behind, he was very determined. After having failed to persuade the man to let go of the suitcase, St. Peter said he would ask God himself. The man's face lit up and he waited impatiently for St. Peter's return. Finally he came and said: "God said you could bring it after all" and then he added "but I'd like to see what you have which is so important that you can't leave it behind, may I?" The man beamed and proudly he opened the suitcase which contained dosens of shining gold bars, St Peter exclaimed: "Oh my, it is ... PAVEMENT!" |
Three men were sitting in a boat on the ocean. They had got lost and were drifting around. Then they spotted a bottle. They fished it up and pulled out the cork. To their great surprize a guinne emerged and stretched his limbs joyfully saying: "Oh thank you for letting me out of there, in return I will give each of you one wish..." The first man grinned and said: "I wish I was at home with my family, eating a lovely steak", as soon as he had said it they heard a "DING" and he was gone. The second man said: "I wish I was home too with my cat snuggling up at my lap in front of the fire place". Once again there was a "DING" and he was gone as well. The third man, now feeling very lonely said: "Oh I wish the other two were here...." |
