From: DW's Joke of the Day
Old man Fielding, the miser, at last went to his reward and presented
himself at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted him with appropriate
solemnity and escorted him to his new abode. Walking past numerous
elegant mansions finally they arrived at a dilapidated shack at the end
of the street.
Fielding, much taken aback, began,
"Why am I left with a rundown shack when all of these others have fine
mansions?"
"Well, sir," replied St. Peter, "we did the best we could with the money
you sent us ..."
--Selected from Bills Punch Line.
A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God
lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Rootbeer
and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in
the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and
opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when
he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him a
Twinkie. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was so
pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root
beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there
all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave,
but before he had gone more than! a few steps, he turned around, ran back
to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his
mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What
did you do today that made you so happy? "He replied, "I had lunch with
God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know
what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His
son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "Dad, what
did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I ate
Twinkies in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he
added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
