Laughter The Best Medicin

[David006]

Graham and Linda were "getting on a bit" and had been married for 45 years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because Graham "watched the pennies".

Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to Linda's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on yet another holiday and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.

They reached the pearly gates, and St.. Peter escorted them inside, and insisted on showing the couple around. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and even a waterfall in the master bathroom. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when St. Peter said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'

Graham asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.

'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.'

Graham looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth.. 'What are the green fees?' grumbled Graham. 'This is heaven, remember' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'

Next they went to the clubhouse and saw that Graham's favourite beer was on tap, and Linda's favourite white wine was behind the bar. What's more a lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine was laid out before them, from seafood, to steaks to exotic deserts.

'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to Graham. 'This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'

Graham looked around and glanced nervously at Linda. 'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?' he moaned.

'That's the best part,' St. Peter replied. 'You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!'

'No gym to work out at?' said Graham

'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.

'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...'

'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'

Graham glared at Linda and said, 'Typical !! You and your fuc_king Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'
