Three Couples
Three couples were on their way to a party one winter evening, and as they were rounding the turn the driver lost control of the vehicle which ran off the road
and down a hillside, bursting into flame and killing everyone inside.
Very shortly thereafter, the three couples appeared before St.Peter.
Peter pointed an accusing finger at one of the men and said,
“ YOU! All you ever thought about in life
was drinking ! You drank every morning, every evening,on the weekends, at lunch,you even married a girl named Sherry!”
He pointed at the second man and said, “ and YOU ! you thought nothing but money !
Everything in your life had to do with greed (1), money, making money, keeping money, making more money…you even married a girl named Penny!”
The third man took his wife’s hand and began to walk away. “ Come on Fanny (2), I don’t want to wait around to hear what he has to say to us.”
