Very Thoughful Joke

    A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the
    scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered
    dying, and that the dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the
    road was leading them.

    After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of
    the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was
    broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing
    before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother
    of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He
    and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at
    a desk to one side.

    When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?" "This
    is Heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen to have some
    water?" the man asked. "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have
    some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to
    open.

    "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler
    asked.

    "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

    The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and
    continued the way he had been going. After another long walk, and at the
    top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm
    gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he
    approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and
    reading a book.

    "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

    "Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there"

    The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate.
    "Come on in."

    "How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

    "There should be a bowl by the pump."

    They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned
    hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and
    took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were
    full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the
    tree waiting for them.

    "What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

    "This is Heaven," was the answer.

    "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said
    that was Heaven, too."

    "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope.
    That's Hell."

    "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

    "No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they
    screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."
