Waiting in Line

Two spirits, Hank and Bubba, were waiting for admission at the pearly gates. Hank turned to Bubba.

“I fell off a cliff. What happened to you?” he asked. “How come you’re dead?”

“Shipwreck,” replied Bubba. “I was left in the middle of the Pacific on a raft with only two other survivors.”

“Ah, so you died of starvation.”

“No, we drew lots and decided to eat Jim.”

“Good grief,” said Hank. “That’s desperation indeed. But surely that would keep you alive?”

“It did,” answered Bubba.

“So what happened? How did you die?”

“Stupidity. I died of thirst the next day.”
