The Downside of Heaven



A holy man from Bali died from old age. He arrives at the Pearly Gates to be greeted by St. Peter.


"Welcome to Heaven." St. Peter leads the Balinese holy man inside.


"I thought heaven was only for Christians."


"No, no, heaven is for everyone. Over there are the Balinese. To the right the French. Back there the Muslims. Up front the Christians. Over there the Irish." St. Peter points out every segment of heaven, then as they walk through a forest, St. Peter whispers. "And over there are the Fundamentalists."


"Why are you whispering?"


"Because they think they're the only ones up here."
