There was this nice couple who was married along time. They lived an exemplary life and even though they weren’t rich they raised a fine family. Every morning she served oatmeal believing it would improve their health and give them a booster for the day.
Sadly, one day they both died. Of course, being an exemplary couple they were whisked immediately off to heaven by their guardian angels. They landed on a soft fluffy cloud where Gabriel the archangel stood. Gabriel said, “You are such good people we grant you a brand new white Cadillac to drive around heaven in.” “Wow, this is great they said,” and the angel gives them the keys to the Cadillac and they drive off together up to the pearly gates.
Saint Peter is waiting for them there and he happily greets them both. “For raising such a fine family, you both deserve Rolex watches.” Once again, they are astonished and graciously accept the watches. With that Saint Peter says, “Go and seek God.”
So, off they go together driving in their beautiful white Cadillac wearing there shiny new Rolex watches when they come upon a magnificent mansion. God greets them at the entrance and welcomes them in. God shows them around. It is a gigantic mansion with 45 spectacular furnished rooms. It has a fabulous indoor swimming pool, and outside is a tennis court and another pool. Surrounding the mansion there is a perfectly manicured private golf course and there are flower gardens everywhere.
“My Good people,” God says, “this is yours for all eternity.” All of a sudden… the man gives his wife a huge poke in the ribs…”Ouch, why did you do that?” his wife says. “Well, for goodness sake honey,” “if you hadn’t fed us all that oatmeal, we could have been here years ago!“
