Never Make a Woman Angry

A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for

Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates and saw a

beautiful banquet table.

Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had

loved and who had died before her. They saw her and began calling

greetings to her, "Hello. How are you! We've been waiting for you!

Good to see you."

When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a

wonderful place! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her. "Which word?" the

woman asked. "Love."

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her

into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to

watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day. While the woman was

guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.

"I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?" "Oh,

I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her. "I

married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were

ill. And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and

I lived in and bought a huge mansion. And my wife and I traveled all

around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water

skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer! How

do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him. "Which word?" her

husband asked. "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", she

replied.

Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry . . . there will be Hell to pay!

NB: The longest word currently listed in the Oxford dictionary is the supposed

lung-disease pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters).

Now you've learned a new word.
