 "At
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.
"Oh... just the capital of Iceland....'Reykjavik'."
