A man knocks on the pearly gates...

But there's no answer. He knocks again and again until finally Saint Peter appears.

"We're extremely busy at the moment. Unless you have a really good reason why I should let you in, you'll have to come back" he says.

"Well, as a matter of fact, I have a great reason", the man says. "You see, I was working out on my balcony on the 25th floor, when I lost my balance and fell over the edge. Luckily, I managed to grab a hold of the railing on the balcony below. As I was hanging there, though, a man came running out from inside and started hitting my hands with a hammer. I fell down, but by some stroke of luck, I landed in some soft bushes and survived. Seconds later, however, a fridge thrown from the 24th floor hit me and killed me.

"That is one good reason”, Saint Peter admits, and let's the man in.

Shortly after, another man arrives and knocks on the pearly gates. Again, there's no answer, but after some time of persistent knocking, Saint Peter appears.

"We're extremely busy at the moment. Unless you have a really good reason why I should let you in, you'll have to come back another day" he explains again.

The man replies: "I have a very good reason! You see, I came home early from work today to surprise my wife, whom I suspect is cheating on me with another man. I barged into our apartment, ran to the bedroom where, true enough, my wife was lying naked in the bed. I search everywhere for her lover – the bathroom, the closets, the kitchen, until finally I see him hanging, half undressed from the balcony. Now, we live on the 24th floor, and I grab a hammer and start hitting his hands. He looses his grip and falls down. By some stroke of luck, the fall doesn't kill him, so I grab my fridge, carry it to the balcony, and throw it over the edge. Unfortunately, the physical exhaustion was too much, and I died of a heart attack seconds later.

"That is actually a pretty good reason”, Saint Peter says. "Thou shalt not commit adultery, and justice was served”. He let's the man in.

Shortly after, a third man arrives, knocks on the pearly gates, but just like with the other two men, there's no answer. He knocks and knocks until finally Saint Peter shows up.

"We're extremely busy at the moment. Unless you have a really good reason why I should let you in, you'll have to come back later" he explains, now slightly aggravated.

"Oh, I have a great reason!”, the man says. "You see, I was hiding in a fridge...”
