Don't Step on a Duck!!!
Three guys go to Heaven. They go to the gate, and St. Peter tells them they can do whatever they want, except for one thing and one thing only: "Never EVER step on a duck, or terrible things will happen."
They think this is kind of odd, but still they decide to obey him. They say "Ok" and go inside.
Well it turned out that there were ducks everywhere they looked. The first guy steps on one the first day. St. Peter appears with this huge, ugly woman and straps it to the guy so that neither of them can get loose. "You will stay with this woman for eternity," says St. Peter.
A few days later, the second guy steps on duck. St. Peter again appears with this huge, ugly woman and straps it to him. "You will stay with this woman for eternity."
Well, the third guy figures this is for real, and he's gotta be careful, so he develops this style of walking, his feet never leave the ground. Weeks go by, and soon he gets a visit from St. Peter.
"What is this?" the guy says. "I didn't do anything wrong!"
Then out from behind St. Peter appears a beautiful woman. He straps them to one another and leaves.
The guy says, "Any idea why he did that? I didn't do anything saintly, that I know of."
And the woman says "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck."
