First prompt: June 21, 2015

    For the next year, I will be working my way through the writing prompts found here.
Today is June 21st, and as much as I would rather start with a better prompt, I am going to have to work with the one that they provided. So, here it goes.

   Writing prompt #1: Ha ha ha (Tell a joke)

    There once was a man who died and began his journey to heaven. When he reached the pearly gates, Saint Peter was there. After exchanging greetings, the man asked, "What do I do to get into heaven?"

Saint Peter smiled and said, "All you have to do is spell a word."

Thinking it was easy enough, the man said, "Okay, well, what is the word?"

Saint Peter said "Love."
 
The man then replied, "L-O-V-E."

"You're in."

The man entered heaven and looked around at all the glory. After a few minutes, Saint Peter approached the man and asked him to watch the gate for a minute because he had to go check something down the road. The man agreed, and Saint Peter left.

After a minute or so, who should come up but the man's wife.... "How'd you get here?" He asked her.

"Well, you're not going to believe this, but after your funeral I was heading home and got hit by a drunk driver driving a semi."

"Oh." the man said.

"Well, what do I do to get into heaven?" The wife asked.

"You just have to spell a word." He replied.

"What is the word?" She asked.

The man thought for a moment before saying, "Czechoslovakia."
