      Waiting for the last people to show up....
    
      
    
      
      
      Bob and Sue discuss the world
    
      
      
      Hang on... I have a joke somewhere....
    
        Yes... He Told This One! -
        Three guys die and go to heaven.  St. Peter says "Listen - we're  having a really busy century, so we need to manage admissions tightly.   Right now we can only admit people who have died in horrible fashions,  and those who have died in a more mundane way will have to wait in  limbo, and it could take a decade or two to work you in."
        
        
        So St. Peter takes aside the first man, and asks him how he died.
        
        "Well,  I'd been suspicious of my wife having an affair for some time now, so  today I came home from work early.  I just knew the guy was in my  apartment, but I couldn't find him.  I looked everywhere and was just  about to give up, when I went out on the balcony of my 23rd story  apartment and there he was hanging over the edge!  He was just barely  hanging on, there was no way he could climb back onto the balcony.  It  was a really stupid place to try to hide.  I was livid, so I started  punching him and clawing at his fingers, but he held on.  Finally I went  to get a hammer and started pounding on his fingers, and he fell down.   But what really angered me was that he landed in some bushes and fell  to the ground dazed, but basically OK!  I was so mad I grabbed the  refrigerator, threw it off the balcony and it landed on him.   Unfortunately I was so riled up by the incident I had a heart attack and  died."
        
        
        St. Peter was taken aback, and said "While you did die in  a dramatic fashion, I think we need to look at that whole second degree  murder before we let you in - off to limbo with you."  He then  approached the second man and asked him how he had died.
        
        
        "I was  riding my exercise bike on the balcony of my 24th story apartment, when  the thing broke and threw me over the railing!  I grabbed furiously at  the railing and slipped, but managed to catch on the balcony below mine.   I tried to climb up but it just wasn't possible.  I thought I was  going to fall but then someone came out on the balcony.  I thought he  would help me, until he started hitting me!  I held on as best I could,  but when he got a hammer and started hitting me I finally couldn't hold  on anymore and fell.  Somehow, though, I fell in some bushes and fell to  the ground dazed, but basically OK!  Just as I'm coming around, I look  up and BAM this refrigerator lands on me.  So here I am."
        
        
        St. Peter immediately admitted this second man to heaven, and pulled aside the third man and asked him for his story.
        
        
        "Picture this:  I'm hiding naked in a refrigerator..."
