Sam and Edith

Sam and Edith were 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife’s insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade. One day, while on vacation, their plane crashed, and they died.

They reached the pearly gates, and GOD took them to a beautiful mansion, with all their favorite clothes hanging in the closets. They gasped in astonishment when GOD said, “Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.”

Sam asked how much all this was going to cost.

“Why, nothing,” God replied, “Remember, this is your reward in Heaven.”

Next they went into the kitchen and saw the lavish buffet, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, all for them to enjoy for free since, after all, this is heaven.

The old man looked around and glanced nervously at Edith. “Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?” he asked.

“That’s the best part,” GOD 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!”

Sam pushed, “No gym to work out at?” ”

�Not unless you want to,” GOD Answered.

“No testing my sugar or blood pressure or…”

“Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself,” said God.

Sam glared at Edith and said, “You and your awful bran muffins. We could have been here 15 years ago!”
