A couple who had been married for 60 years found themselves each being 85 years-old, and though they were not rich, they had a comfortable life because they had always made saving money a priority.

Despite their advanced age, they were both in good health, mostly because the wife had insisted on them eating healthy foods and maintaining an exercise regimen over the past decade as they reached old age. Sadly, their good health did not help them when they embarked on a rare vacation and their plane crashed.

The couple were sent to Heaven, where they were met at the gates by St. Peter. He brought them inside to a lavish mansion that was furnished in gold and included a kitchen with tons of food and a master bath with a waterfall. A maid could be seen hanging up their favorite clothes in the closet, and the entire home was gorgeous.

“Welcome to Heaven,” Peter told the shocked couple. “This will be your home now.” When the elderly man asked Peter how much the home would cost, he responded, “Nothing, remember, this is your reward in Heaven.”

When he looked out the window, the old man saw the finest championship golf course that he had ever seen.

“What are the greens fees?” he asked.

“This is heaven,” St. Peter responded. “You can play for free every day.”

When they got to the clubhouse, the couple saw a buffet lunch filled with every food imaginable as well as free flowing drinks.

“Don’t even ask,” Peter said to the old man. “This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.”

Looking nervously at his wife, the man said, “Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods? And where is the decaffeinated tea?”

“That’s the best part,” Peter assured him. “You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you want and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!”

“No gym to work out at?” the older man asked incredulously.

“Not unless you want to,” Peter replied.

“No testing my sugar or blood pressure or…” the man stammered.

“Never again,” Peter said. “All you do here is enjoy yourself.”

The man then turned to his wife angrily and exclaimed, “You and your bran flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!”
