A woman found herself standing at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted her and said, "These are the Gates to
Heaven, my dear. But you must do one more thing before you can enter."
The woman was very excited, and asked of St. Peter what she must do.
"Spell a word," St. Peter replied.
"What word?" she asked.
"Any word," answered St. Peter. "It's your choice."
The woman promptly replied, "Then the word I will spell is love. L-O-V-E."
St. Peter welcomed her in, and asked her if she would mind taking his place at the gates for a few minutes
while he took a break. So the woman is left sitting in St. Peter's chair when a man approaches the gates,
and she realizes it is her husband.
"What happened?" she cried, "Why are you here?"
Her husband stared at her for a moment, then said, "I was so upset when I left your funeral, I got in an
accident. Did I really make it to Heaven?"
"Not yet," she replied, "You must spell a word first."
"What word?" he asked.
The woman responded, "Czechoslovakia."
Something tells me that she wasn't thrilled to see him.
Well, If that's how she feels about it;-)

Notice they didn't say how she died. Perhaps he killed her and then on the way home found out that the insurance policy had lapsed... Just thinking of reasons here...

Off topic, slightly, but a challenge to you.
Speaking of words, we had a game we used to play, "Fictionary". One person would find a word in the dictionary and spell it out. Everyone else would try to write a definition of the word. Some of them were pretty interesting.
My favorite word is "Decrepitate". The best definition I heard was "The sound made by an old person trying to creep down the stairs"
It's up to you to come up with an interesting definition before you look it up.
(And please don't post the real definition until others have tried to define it themselves -- maybe until the first week of November).
