They were both 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.
Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.
Then one day, their good health couldn't help when they splashed out on a rare holiday and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.
When they reached the pearly gates St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. They glimpsed a maid hanging their favourite clothes in the wardrobe.
They gasped in astonishment when St Peter turned to them and said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'
The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.
'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven..'
The old man glanced through the window and his breath was quite taken away when he spied a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth..
'What are the green fees?,' muttered the old man.
'This is Heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'And for you it is always free, every day of the year.'
Next they visited the clubhouse and were regaled by a lavish buffet lunch, laid out before them with every imaginable cuisine, from seafood to steaks to exotic desserts with free flowing beverages.
'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'
The old man 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 become fat or sick.
Just remember - this is Heaven!'
The old man didn't give up easily.
'No gym? No need to work out?'
'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.
'No testing my sugar level or blood pressure or....'
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'
The old man turned to his wife and glared.
'You and your f....ing Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'
