A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint
>Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates.
>
>She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and
>all the other people she had loved and who had died before her. They saw her
>and began calling greetings to her "Hello, How are you ! We've been waiting
>for you ! Good to see you."
>
>When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a wonderful
>place ! How do I get in ?" "You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told
>her.
>
>"Which word?" the woman asked.
>
>"Love."
>
>The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
>
>About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the
>Gates of Heaven for him that day since he was very busy with other matters.
>
>While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived. "I'm
>surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been ?"
>
>"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I
>married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill.
>And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I
>lived in and bought a huge mansion. And, my wife and I travelled all around
>the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I
>fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer. How do I get in ?"
>
>"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.
>
>"Which word ?" her husband asked.
>
>"Sesquipedalian."
>
>Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry ... there'll be Hell to pay
>later.
