A construction worker dies on in a fishing accident on
his 40th birthday and finds himself greeted at the
Pearly Gates by a brass band. Saint Peter runs over,
shakes his hand and says “Congratulations!”
“Congratulations for what?” asks the construction worker.
“Congratulations for what?” says Saint Peter. “We are
celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old.”
“But that”s not true,” says the construction worker. “I
only lived to be forty.”
“That”s impossible,” says Saint Peter, “we added up your
time sheets.”
