Watch your step!

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, “We only have one rule here: Don’t step on the ducks!” They enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It’s almost impossible not to step on them. Although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she’s ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says: “Your punishment is to spend eternity chained to this man!” The next day, the second woman makes the same mistake and along comes St. Peter with another extremely ugly man.

He chains them together with the same admonishment. The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, becomes very careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any duck, but one day, St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid her eyes on—tall, long eyelashes, muscular. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The happy woman says, “I wonder what I’ve done to deserve being chained to you?” The guy says, “I don’t know about you, but I stepped on a duck!”
