Don't Step on the Ducks

Three women asked St. Peter at the the Pearly Gates for entry, but got a surprise condition: Don't step on the ducks.

"What have we got to loose?" the three agreed. So they signed the consent form-- and the gates opened. The place was more than they expected. Eye has not seen nor ear heard the joys that the Lord prepares for those who loved him.

There were also ducks all over. A week later, one lady got careless and trampled on a duck. In a split second, St. Peter appeared. Without word, he handcuffed the erring lady to the ugliest man they've seen and left.

Three days later, the second lady squashed a duck. In a split second, the same drilled happened. Only this time, the other end of the handcuff was uglier. 

The third woman became very careful. Months passed without incident. Suddenly, St. Peter appeared with a strikingly handsome man.

"Is this a reward?" the woman cooed.

"I don't know about you lady," the man said. "But I stepped on a duck."
