Three women who had died earlier met at the Pearly Gates. There St Peter instructed them that there was ONE rule in Heaven that was strictly enforced. "You must be very careful to NEVER step on a duck". The women nodded their understanding and proceeded on their way. It was soon very apparent why there was such a rule. There were ducks everywhere.!! Big ducks, little ducks, colorful ducks, white ducks. Ducks, ducks, ducks. Everywhere there were ducks....
Well, try as they might, one woman stepped on a duck the first day. There was a flash and rolling thunder and St Peter appeared and chained the woman to the biggest, fattest man available for her transgression. She was to remain chained forever. On the second day a second woman, stepping carefully, was surprised when a small duck ran between her feet and was thoroughly squashed. Once again St Peter materialized and chained this woman to the hairiest, ugliest, most despicable man available, there to remain for all eternity.
Having seen what happened to the other two women, the third woman was VERY careful. Moving very slowly and watching where she put every foot down, she managed to avoid the ducks every day. About a week later St Peter appeared leading a beautiful, perfectly formed, tall and distinguished man and proceeded to chain them together. The woman was awe-struck. She said softly, "I wonder what I have accomplished, what I could possibly have done to deserve this wonderful man....forever.!!
The tall, beautiful man looked down at her and sighed. Then he said, "I don't know about you lady, but I ... stepped on a duck."
