Just for Laughs: REFRIGERATOR

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change
the admittance policy. The new law was, that in order to get into
Heaven, you had to have a really awful day when you died. The policy
would go into effect at noon the next day.

The next day at 12.01pm, the first person came to the gates of Heaven.

The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, said to the man,
"Before I can let you in, you have to tell me what was happening in
your life the day on which you died."

"No problem", the man said. "I came home to my 25th floor apartment
during my lunch hour and found my wife half-naked. I thought she was
having an affair but her lover was nowhere in sight. Immediately, I
began searching for him. My wife was shouting at me as I searched the
apartment."

"Just as I was going to give up the search, I looked out onto the
balcony and saw there was a man hanging over the edge by his
fingertips! Well, I ran out onto the balcony and jumped on his fingers
until he fell to the ground. But he landed in some bushes that broke
his fall and he didn't die!"

"I was so mad that I went back inside to fetch something that I could
throw at him. Strangely, the first thing I thought of was the
refrigerator. So I unplugged it, pushed it to the balcony and tipped
over the side. It fell the 25 stories and crushed the man.
Unfortunately all this excitement was too much and I had a heart
attack and died instantly!"

The Angel sat and thought for a moment. Technically, the man did have
a bad day. It was crime of passion.

So he announced, "Okay, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and
let him in.

A few seconds later the next person came up.

The Angel said, "Before I can let you enter, I need to know what was
happening to you on the day you died."

"No problem", said the second man. "But you are not going to believe
this!"

"I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily
exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure, so I was really pushing
hard to relieve my stress. I think I got a little carried away,
slipped and accidentally fell over the side!"

"Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony
below mine. But suddenly, this crazy man comes running out of his
apartment, swears at me, and jumps on my fingers! Well, I fell and
just before I hit the ground, I landed in some trees or bushes which
broke my fall. But I didn't die immediately."

"As I am lying there, looking up, unable to move, and in great pain, I
notice the crazy man push his REFRIGERATOR off the balcony. It falls
25 floors and lands on top of me - killing me instantly!"

The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as the man finishes his
story.

"I think I like this new policy", he says to himself. "Okay", said the
Angel to the second man. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven."

And he lets the man in. A few seconds later, a third man comes up to
the gates.

The Angel says, "Please tell me how you died."

The third man says, "You will never believe this. I am naked, hiding
inside a refrigerator..."
