"Welcome to Heaven!"

The couple were 85 years old, and had been married  for sixty years.

Though they were far from young, they were both in very good  health for their age, largely due to the wife's insistence on health food and exercise for the last decade.  One day, their good health didn't help when they  went on a vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. 

They  reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside.  He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in  gold and fine silks, with an eternally stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the  master bath. They gasped in astonishment when he said, "Welcome to Heaven.  This will be your home now." The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. "Why, nothing," Peter replied, "Remember, this is your reward  in Heaven.  "They went out behind the mansion, where they were  shown the adjacent championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth. "What are the greens fees?", grumbled the old man. 

"This  is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play for free, every day.  "Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish  buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, and  free-flowing beverages and a fountain of champagne. "Don't even ask," said St.  Peter to the man.

"This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.  "The old man looked around and glanced nervously at  his wife. "Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the  decaffeinated tea?" he asked.  "That's the best part," St. Peter replied. "You can  eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get  fat or sick. This is Heaven!"  The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and  your goddamn bran muffins. I could have been here ten years  ago!"
