Your Clock's Spinning
By A guy dies and goes to heaven. It’s a slow day for St. Peter, so, upon passing
the entrance test, St. Peter says, “I’m not very busy today, why don’t you let
me show you around?” The guy thinks this is a great idea and graciously accepts
the offer.
St. Peter shows him all the sights – the golf course, the reading room and
library, the observation room, the cafeteria and finally, they come to a HUGE
room full of clocks. The guy asks, “What’s up with these clocks?”
St. Peter explains, “Everyone on earth has a clock that shows how much time he
has left on earth. When a clock runs out of time, the person dies and comes to
the Gates to be judged.” The guy thinks this makes sense but notices that some
of the clocks are going faster than others. He asks why is that?
St. Peter explains, “Every time a living person tells a lie, it speeds his
clock.”
This also makes sense, so the guy takes one last look around the room before
leaving and notices one clock in the center of the ceiling. On this clock, both
hands are spinning at an unbelievable rate. So he asks, “What’s the story with
that clock?”
“Oh, that,” St. Peter replies, “That’s President Clinton’s clock. We decided
to use it as a fan.”
