There are these three guys out on a fine Wednesday, playing golf. On the way home, the fancy BMW sportsminiconversionwhatevervan they're riding in goes out of control, veers off the highway into a tree, and all three men die.
So there they are, approaching the Pearly Gates in their country club clothes and about to stride right through when St. Peter bars the way and says, "Whoa fellas! What makes you think you deserve to get it here? How about you?" and he points at the first guy.
"Well, I invented the artificial hip. Because of my invention, many, many people can have hip replacement surgery and regain the ability to move around freely and without pain." St. Peter nods and says, "Yeah, that does sound pretty good. Right. Off you go!" and he let's the first guy in.
The second guy steps forward and St Peter asks him the same question. This guy responds, "Well, I invented the artificial heart. My invention helps people stay alive longer than they would on their own weak, diseased hearts until they can obtain a transplant." St Peter smiles, looking down, and says "Yeah, I can see how you got rather personally involved in that just a few minutes ago. Nice invention, and good on you for signing your donor card. Off you go!" and that doctor walks through the gates.
The last of the golfers walks up and St Pete says, "OK, what's your story?" This man swaggers forward and says "When I was alive, I was CEO of the largest HMO in the world." St. Peter looks at him, smiles beautifically and says,
"How wonderful for you! You get to stay two weeks."
