>     _________________________________________________________________ 

>   Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently 
>   it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first 
>   one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've been asked 
>   to admit only people who have had particularly horrible deaths. So
>   what's your story?"

>   So the first man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my wife 
>   has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to catch 
>   her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell 
>   something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where 
>   this other guy could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the
>   balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 
>   25 floors above ground! By now I was really mad, so I started beating 
>   on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall
>   off. So finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and
>   starting hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that 
>   for long, so he let go and fell -- but even after 25 stories, he fell 
>   into the bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I 
>   ran into the kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge
>   where it landed on him, killing him instantly. But all the stress and 
>   anger got to me, and I had a heart attack and died there on the
>   balcony."

>   "That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said Peter, and let the man 
>   in.

>   The second man comes up and Peter explains to him about heaven being 
>   full, and again asks for his story.

>   "It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my 
>   apartment building, and every morning I do my exercises out on my
>   balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because 
>   I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the 
>   balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very
>   long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for 
>   sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held 
>   on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a
>   hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but 
>   again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all
>   right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this
>   refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, 
>   and now I'm here."

>   Once again, Peter had to concede that that sounded like a pretty 
>   horrible death.

>   The third man came to the front of the line, and again the whole
>   process was repeated. Peter explained that heaven was full and asked 
>   for his story.

>   "Picture this," says the third man, "I'm hiding naked inside a 
>   refrigerator..."
