On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a couple has a fatal
car accident. The couple finds themselves sitting outside heaven's gate
waiting on Saint Peter to process them in. While waiting, they wonder if
they could possibly get married in Heaven. St. Peter finally shows up and
they ask him.
Saint Peter says, "I don't know, this is the first time anyone has
ever asked. Let me find out," and he leaves.
The couple waits for a couple of months and begins to wonder if they really
should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn`t work out?" they wonder together, "Are
we stuck together forever?"
Saint Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.
"Yes," he informs the couple, "You can get married in
Heaven."
"Great," says the couple, "but what if things don't work
out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
Saint Peter, red-faced, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" exclaims the frightened couple.
"Come on!" Saint Peter exclaims, "It took me three months
to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take
for me to find a lawyer?"
