Woman at Heaven

A woman finds herself outside the heaven gates, where she is greeted by the guard.

“Am I where I think I am?” she exclaims. “It’s so beautiful! Did I really make it to heaven?”

To which guard replies, “Yes, my dear, these are the Gates to Heaven. But you must do one thing before you can enter.”

Very excited, the woman asks what she must do to pass through the gates.

“Spell a word,” guard replies.

“What is it?” she asks.

“Any word at all,” answers guard. “It’s your choice!”

The woman promptly replies, “The word I will spell is India. I-n-d-i-a.”

The guard congratulates her on her good fortune in making it into Heaven, and asks her if she will take his place at the gates for a moment while he goes to the bathroom.

“I’d be honoured,” she says, “but what should I do if someone comes while you’re gone?”

The guard instructs her to require any newcomers to spell a word, just as she had done. So the woman takes the guard’s chair and watches the beautiful angels soaring around her. Suddenly, lo and behold, a man approaches the gates, and it is none other than her husband!

“What happened?” she cries. “Why are you here?”

Her husband explains, “I was so upset when I left your funeral that I got into a fatal car accident. So here I am, ready to join you in Heaven.”

“Well not just yet,” the woman replies. “First you have to spell a word.”

“What’s the word?” he asks.

“Czechoslovakia.”
