A healthy lifestyle


Sam and Esther were 85 years old, and had been married for sixty
years.
Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they
watched
their pennies.  Though not young, they were both in very good health,
largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for
the
last decade.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare
vacation and
their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.

They reached the pearly gates, and there an escort was waiting to show
them
inside.   He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and
fine
silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master
bath.
And their favorite clothes hanging in the closet.   They gasped in
astonishment when he said, "Welcome to Heaven.   This will be your
home
now."

Sam asked how much all this was going to cost.  "Why, nothing," their
companion replied, "remember, this is your reward in Heaven."

Sam looked out the window and right there he saw a 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," the companion 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, from seafood to steaks to
exotic
deserts, free flowing beverages.   "Don't even ask," said their
companion to
Sam.   "This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."

The old man looked around and glanced nervously at Esther. "Well, where
are
the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea?"

"That's the best part," the companion 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!"

Sam pushed, "No gym to work out at?"

"Not unless you want to," was the answer.

"No testing my sugar or blood pressure or..."

"Never again.  All you do here is enjoy yourself."

Sam glared at Esther and said, "You and your bran muffins!  We could
have
been here 15 years ago!"
