For Those Who Are Trying To Be Healthy And Live Longer!

 

 

 

Sam and Edith were 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years.

Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they

watched their pennies. 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, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare

vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. They

reached the pearly gates, and there an escort was waiting to show them inside. He

took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks,

with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. And their

favorite clothes hanging in the closet. They gasped in astonishment

when he said, "Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now."

 

Sam asked how much all this was going to cost. "Why, nothing," their

companion replied, "remember, this is your reward in Heaven."

 

Sam looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf

course, finer and more beautiful than any ever-built on Earth. "What

are the greens fees?" grumbled the old man.

 

"This is heaven," the companion replied. "You can play for free, every day."

 

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, free flowing beverages. "Don't even ask," said their

companion to Sam. "This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."

 

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," the companion 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," was the answer.

 

"No testing my sugar or blood pressure or..."

 

"Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself."

 

Sam glared at Edith and said, "You and your ******* bran muffins. We

could have been here 15 years ago!"
