Two people, a man and a woman, pass away at the same time on the same day and find themselves standing together in front of Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
"I have good news and I have bad news for the both of you," St. Peter says. "The good news is both of you have made the grade. However, the bad news is our computer is down and I won't be able to let either of you in until I get confirmation."
"That's great, but what do we do until the computer is back up?" Says the man.
"Well," St. Peter replies, "In cases such as this we allow the waiting parties to return to Earth for the few days it takes to get things sorted, and you get to go back as anything you want, no strings attached."
Looking at the woman, St. Peter asks, "What would you like to return to Earth as Miss?''
The woman ponders for a minute then says, "I have always wanted to be able to fly over the earth as free as a bird. Can I return as a beautiful eagle?"
"It is done," St. Peter states, and the woman disappears.
St. Peter looks at the man who seems to be mentally listing things he has wanted to be. The man looks up at St Peter and says, "No strings, eh? In that case I want to go back as a stud!"
"It is done," St Peter states, and the man disappears.
A few days later an IT angel approaches St Peter and tells him the computer is working and asks if he is going to be able to locate the woman and the man he had to send back to Earth.
"Oh sure," replies St Peter, "The woman is happily soaring over the Rockies in Colorado, should be fairly easy to locate. The man might take a little while though - he's on a snow tire somewhere in Canada."
