An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah,

it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators,
and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gotten down there; send him up here." Satan says, "No

He says, "I think your heart goes to heaven first because God is all about love." "Very
good," said the teacher. The teacher looked up and saw Little Johnny's hand up. "Oh
no," she thought, "I'm not gonna like this". "Little Johnny, which part of the body do you
think goes to heaven first?" Little Johnny thinks for a minute and says, "Your feet." The
teacher asked him why he thought your feet go to heaven first. He replied, "Well, I was

confesses: "I am at a loss as to how you could possibly be cured." Finally the psychiatrist refers him to a witch doctor. The witch doctor says: "I can cure this." He throws some powder on a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. The witch doctor says:

"Is my time up?" God answered, "No, you have 40 more years, 2 months and

have a facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come
in and change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she
figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she
was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home,
she was hit by a car and died immediately. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years, why didn't you pull me
from out of the path of the car?" God replied, "I didn't recognize you."
