I went to a seance where they were trying to contact my old neighbours, they were 85+ years old and had been married for sixty years! Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies.. They were always very good neighbours.
Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the whole last decade.
One day early this year, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed overseas, sending them off we presumed, to Heaven.
So we neighbours were all together recently and after a few drinks we all decided to have a go at contacting Merv and Elsie, so we did this seance (picture 8 people in a lounge room all hunched over this board like a dog rooting a cricket ball and you get the idea of how this was a chore!) anyway lo and behold, we contacted the old couple!!:eek:
Merv, (the husband) explained everything to us...
We reached the pearly gates, and St Peter escorted us inside, he said.
He took us to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging our favourite clothes in the closet.
He went on to tell us that they gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'
Merv asked St Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven..'
Merv said he looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth..
'What are the greens fees?,' grumbled the old man.
'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages.
'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to Merv.. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'
Merv looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.
'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?,' he asked.
That's the best part,' St. Peter replied.. 'You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!'
Merv pushed, 'No gym to work out at?'
'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.
'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or....'
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'
Merv said he glared at his wife and said, 'You and your f....ing Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'
Anyhow, I've learnt sometimes you should just enjoy what you have!
feel free to join in
