Sam, Abbe and Moishe were waiting in line to get into Heaven. When Sam gets to the front of the line, the Angel said, "Before you can enter you must tell me the story of how you died." "I came home to my apartment and I noticed the door was open, so I knew that there was a thief inside. So I started to search for him, but I couldn’t find where the guy was hiding. However, when I went out onto my balcony, there was this man hanging onto my railings. I was furious and started kicking him but he held on so I got a hammer and battered his fingers. He couldn't take that and had to let go. He fell 20 stories but he somehow landed in some thick bushes and only stunned himself so I ran into my kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the balcony. My aim was perfect – it landed right on top of him, killing him instantly. Unfortunately, all the raw anger got to me. I had a massive heart attack and died on my balcony." "That sounds interesting to me," said the Angel and let Sam in. He then asks Abbe for his story. "It's been a very unusual day for me. I live on the 21st floor and every morning I do exercises on my balcony. Unfortunately, this morning I slipped on the wet floor and fell over the edge. Luckily, I managed to grab the railing of the balcony below mine. All of a sudden, a man burst out onto the balcony and just for a moment I thought I was saved. But he was a madman and started beating me. I somehow held on but when he started hammering at my hands, I had to let go. But I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, winded but OK. But my luck ran out when a fridge fell on me. Now I'm here." Once again, the Angel lets Abbe in. Moishe came to the front of the line. "Picture this," says Moishe. "I'm hiding inside a refrigerator…" Today's joke was taken from ChabadRochester.com. |
