Seymour was a good and pious man, and when
he passed away, the Lord himself greeted him at the pearly gates of heaven.
"Hungry, Seymour?" the Lord
asked.
"I could eat," said Seymour.
The Lord opened a can of tuna, and they
shared it.
While eating this humble meal, Seymour
looked down into Hell and noticed the inhabitants devouring enormous steaks, pheasant,
pastries and vodka.
The next day, the Lord again asked Seymour
if he was hungry, and Seymour again said, "I could eat."
Once again, a can of tuna was opened and
shared, while down below Seymour noticed a feast of caviar, champagne, lamb, truffles,
brandy and chocolates.
The following day, mealtime arrived and
another can of tuna was opened.
Meekly, Seymour said, "Lord, I am very
happy to be in heaven as a reward for the good life I lived. But, this is heaven, and all
I get to eat is tuna. But in the Other Place, they eat like Kings. I just don't
understand."
"To be honest, Seymour," the Lord
said, "for just two people, does it really pay to cook?"
