A man dies and goes to heaven. St Peter meets him at the gate and fawns over him, telling him how glad everyone in heaven is to see him there.
He tells the man, "You've been through a long and rocky road down there on earth and we want you to be eternally happy here....
there's just one more thing, though, before I can let you through the gates. God requires it, because he loves everyone so much: he wants you to spell the word "love"... can you spell love for me?
"L-O-V-E" the man promptly replies.
"Great" st peter replies. Suddenly his pager goes off and he tells the man he has to run up to the office for just a minute and asks if he will watch the gate for a few minutes.
"And don't forget the spelling quiz whenever anyone comes through!"
The man is at the gate alone just a few minutes and lo and behold, his wife comes up to the gate.
"Margie, what happened? Why goodness, I just barely got here myself, and you were in perfect shape when I left!!"
"Well, I know," replied Margie, "but on the way home from the funeral there was just a terrible auto accident, and I was killed. So now, I get to be with you again sooner than I expected. But why the heck are YOU here guarding the gate?
"Well, the man said, "St Peter got called to the office and he asked me to guard the gate. He said there is a spelling challenge for everyone that comes through. You have to spell a word in order to get inside heaven."
"Well, no problem, sweetie. You know I was always good at spelling. What's the word?"
"Czechoslavakia," the man replied.
He tells the man, "You've been through a long and rocky road down there on earth and we want you to be eternally happy here....
