On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a Catholic couple has a
fatal car accident.
The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate
waiting for St. Peter to admit them. While waiting, they wonder if they could possibly
get married in Heaven.
St. Peter finally shows up and they ask him.
St. Peter says, "I don't know, this is the first time anyone has ever asked. Let me go find out," and he leaves.
The couple sits waiting for two months and begins to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it and all. "What if it doesn't work
out?" they wondered. "Are we stuck together forever?"
St. Peter finally returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes,"
he informs the couple. "You can get married in
Heaven."
"Great," says the couple. "But what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce
in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced, slams his clipboard onto the ground!
"What's wrong?" exclaims the frightened couple.
"Come on!" St. Peter exclaims. "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it's going to take me to find a LAWYER?"
