Two local priests, Father Tom and Father Mike, were tragically killed in
an automobile accident.  They were met at the pearly gates by St. Peter.
"Because you have been such devoted servants, you may return to Earth
for a short time, in whatever form you may choose", St. Peter said.
What form would you like, Father Tom?"

Father Tom said, "I have always wanted to soar like an eagle above the
mountains, in the bright sunlight".

"Very well", said St. Pete, "You may return as an eagle".  Instantly
Father Tom was soaring above the mountains.

He turned to Father Mike.  "What would you like to return as?", he asked.
Father Mike hesitated.  "Well, I'd like to return as a stud", said Mike.

"Are you sure?" asked St. Pete.

"Yes, that's right, a stud!" said Mike.

So Mike spent the winter in Minneapolis in a snow tire.
