Healthy Living

Got a joke too good to keep to yourself? This is where to put it. While all the other Campfires are expected to be reasonably 'serious' in nature, this is where we let our hair down.

Healthy Living

The couple were each 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.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and
their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. They reached the pearly
gates, and 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. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite
clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when he said, "Welcome to
Heaven. This will be your home now."

The old man asked St. Peter how much all this was going to cost. "Why,
nothing," St. Peter replied, "remember, this is your reward in Heaven."

The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf
course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth. "What are the
greens fees?" grumbled the old man.

"This is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play free, every day."

Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every
imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic
deserts, free-flowing beverages and a fountain of Champagne.

"Don't even ask," said St. Peter to the man. "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 get fat or sick. This is
Heaven!"

The old man pushed, "No gym to work out at all?"

"Not unless you want to," was the answer.

"No testing my sugar or blood pressure or..."

"Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself."

The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your bran muffins! We
could have been here twenty years ago!"

Paul.
