Three men die and go to Heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter is standing at the gates of Heaven. He says, "Now you may enter Heaven... But you must promise not to step on any ducks."

So they all promised not to step on any ducks. The gates of Heaven opened.

To their horror the grounds are covered with ducks.

After 5 minutes the first man stepped on a duck. Instantly St. Peter appeared and tied an ugly women to him and said, " For your punishment you are now bound together for all eternity.

After 10 minutes the second man stepped on a duck , again, instantly St.Peter appeared with an even uglier
women and again, ties them both together and condemns them for all
eternity.


The third man was terrified. He took special precautions not to step on
any ducks.

On the one year aniversary of his arrival St. Peter comes to him and leads him to a beach at sunset where he meets the most beautiful woman.

He says to St.Peter," What have I done to deserve this?"

"I don't know about you ", said the woman, "But I stepped on a duck!"


No one told a punch-line quite like you...good-bye Uncle Gene.
