The Perils Of Living Dangerously
Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation.
"How'd you die?" the first man asks the second.
"I froze to death," says the second.
"That's awful," says the first man. "How does it feel to freeze to
death?"
"It's very uncomfortable at first, "says the second man.
"You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers
and toes. But eventually, it's a very calm way to go.
You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if your sleeping.
How about you, how did you die?
"I had a heart attack," says the first man. "You see, I
knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at
home unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and found her
alone, knitting. I ran down to the basement, but no one was
hiding there, either. I ran up to the second floor, but no
one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to
the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart
attack and died."
The second man shakes his head. "That's so ironic," he says.
"What do you mean?" asks the first man.
"If you had only stopped to look in the freezer, we'd both still be
alive."
