A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates.

She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her, "Hello - How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."


When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?" "You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her.

"Which word?" the woman asked.

"Love."

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.


While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived. "I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"

"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill.
And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a huge mansion. And my wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.

"Which word?" her husband asked.

" Czechoslovakia ."

It's funny you should mention Czechoslovakia...
It reminds me of the cautionary tale of a British tourist who visited Czechoslovakia, some years ago now. He went into a bar in Prague, and tried chatting up a gorgeous woman sitting alone at the bar. Unfortunately, it turned out that the woman was, in fact, married. Her husband had just wandered off to use the cigarette machine in a remote corner of the bar. The husband, a jealous type, comes back, and takes great offence at another man trying to chat up his wife. To cut a long story short, it degenerates into a full-on punch-up, the police are called, and both guys end up arrested.
Now, the British tourist isn't too worried...I mean, a minor punch-up, probably just a fine, right? However, the tourist ends up being given an eight-year jail sentance! :o :shock: However, he is allowed to be visited by one of the officials of the British embassy in Prague. The British embassy official explains to him that the tourist was not charged with taking part in a punch-up, he was charged with fraud and false accounting. The tourist was locked up for eight years for " bouncing a Czech "!

SORRY!!!! :oops:
