Offshoreonly.com - 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?!!"
