~ Bran Muffins ~
The couple was 85 years old, and had been married for
60 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
St. Peter escorted 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. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite
clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when
he 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, "Peter replied, "remember, this is your
reward in Heaven." The old man 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," St. Peter replied. "You can play for
free, everyday."
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 St. Peter to the man. "This is
Heaven, 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 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."
The old man glared at his wife and said..........
"You and your bran muffins. We could have been here 10 years ago."
