    • Another one:

3 guys are at heaven's gate being reviewed on their lives when how they died was asked by a guy who was already in line ahead of them.
1st guy: I was really paranoid that my wife was cheating on me so I decide to come home early one day and suspecting that there was a man in the room with her, searched for the lover all over the room. Unsuccessful, I saw a shadow on the window and in a fit of rage, picked up the trunk at the foot of the bed and tossed it out at the shadow, had a heart attack and died.
2nd guy: I was really happy because I just got a job washing windows when suddenly, a dresser came flying out from inside, hit me, causing me to lose balance and fall to my death.
3rd guy: Well, for me, I was jogging when I stopped to catch my breath. When I looked up and saw a trunk and a guy falling towards me...
Guy ahead of them: Man that's tough, but at least you all know how you guys died. I don't even know what happened to me. All I know is that I was hiding in a trunk from some crazy guy and next thing I knew, I was here...

  • One day, two guys were walking in a forest. Suddenly, one stops the other.

Guy 2: ...You know, I think my wife uses that color of nail polish.
