Three women die together in an accident and
go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We
only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the
ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough,
there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible
not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to
avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.
Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man
she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says,
"Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend
eternity chained to this ugly man!"
The next day, the second woman steps
accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't
miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He
chains them together with the same admonishment as for the
first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and,
not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is
very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping
on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the
most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall,
long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.
St. Peter chains them together without
saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I
did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
The guy says, "I don't know about you,
but I stepped on a duck!"
