Friday morning humor..
A young couple were driving down the road one day,
happily, deliriously in love and due to be married the
next day. Suddenly, a large truck swerved from the
oncoming lanes into their car! BOOM! And they both
died.
At the Pearly Gates, the young couple confronted St.
Peter. "Sir, you have to help us! We were to be
married tomorrow. Is there any way we can be married
in Heaven?"
"Hmmm," replied St. Peter, "I don't recall there ever
being a marriage in Heaven. Well, let's take it up
with God and see what he says."
So they approached God with their plea. God sat for a
moment, pondering the request. Then he looked down and
said, "Come back in five years and ask me again."
Five years later, the couple approached God again,
even more in love than ever and pleading that he allow
their marriage. God paused for quite a while, musing
over their request. Then he spoke, "Come back in five
years and ask me again."
And once again, five years later, the couple was again
in the presence of God, more in love than ever and
begging God's permission for the third time to marry.
This time God smiled broadly and thundered, "Yes my
children, you may marry!"
Well, the wedding went off beautifully, the reception
was huge, everyone thought the bride was simply
breathtaking and the groom was soooo handsome, and
everyone was happy! Until...
Two years later, the couple was back bef ore God, and
things were not looking so good. The couple had come
to the realization almost immediately that although
marriages were made in heaven, they didn't last very
long there! And, in spite of their struggles to come
to terms with the situation, they had decided there
simply was no alternative but to get a divorce.
Black clouds fractured by lightening rolled across the
sky, and the ground shook with explosive thunder. God
glared down at the tiny couple before him, his face
becoming dark and angry, and he roared, "Divorce?! Impossible!!! It took us TEN years just to find a priest in Heaven! Do you have any idea how long it will take to find a LAWYER?!!"
