I died last week, you see.  Made the mistake of trying to drive through
Boston during the morning commute, and... BANG!  Starved to death on the
Southeast Distressway...

...and I was greeted at the Ol' Pearly Gates by St. Pete himself.  Said I
made it in, but only by the skin of my teeth.  SO, as a punishment for
my unrepented transgressions, I would have to spend the next 1,000 years
literally HAND-CUFFED to... and you won't believe this... one of the most
ugly women I could ever have imagined.  [Insert standard ugly woman
description, etc.]  I mean, she died while filming "The Texas Chain Saw
Massacre."

And I was floating by this cloud last Tuesday, my burden in tow, when I came
upon my very good, old friend, Ben, who cashed in his chips a year before
when he was moving a directory on an IBM.  It seems the disk drive fell on
him, but that's another story.  But what surprised me the most is that he
like myself was handcuffed, but him to the most beautiful blonde that I
swear I will see in all of eternity.

"Ben!" I exlaimed, "What good deed did you ever do to merit being attached
to so lovely a women?"

"I don't know what he's been up to," retorted the blonde, "but Saint Peter
said I have to be chained to this creep for the next 2,000 years!"
