Bran Muffins
They were 85 years old, and had been married for
60 years. Though not young, they were both in very
good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on
healthy foods and exercise.
One day, their good health didn't help when they
went on a rare vacation and their plane
unfortunately crashed, sending them off to heaven.
They reached heaven, St. Peter escorted them
inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, with a
fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master
bath.
They gasped in astonishment when Peter said,
"Welcome to heaven. This will be your home now."
The old man asked Peter how much all this was
going to cost. "Why, nothing," said St. Peter.
"Remember, this is your reward in heaven."
The old man looked out the window and he saw a
championship golf course, finer and more beautiful
than any ever built on Earth. "What are the greens
fees?" asked the old man.
"This is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play
for free, every day, any time of the day you want."
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish
buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out
before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic
deserts, and free
flowing beverages. "Don't even ask," said St.
Peter tothe man. "This is heaven, and it is all free
for you to enjoy."
The old man looked around and glanced nervously at
his wife. "Well, where are the low fat and low
cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?" he
asked.
"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!"
The old man inquired, "No gym to work out at?"
"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."
The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your bran
muffins. We could have been here twenty years ago!"
