Car Accident

An American, a Scot and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident. They were
all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they
arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred
and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what
happened. �Well,� said the American, �I remember the crash, and then there was a
beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the
gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to
die, and that for a donation of $50, we could return to the earth. So of course
I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $50, and the next thing I knew I was
back here."
"That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other
two?"
"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price
and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."
