Well, then, you could probably appreciate this one:
These three guys die in this tragic minivan accident ... next thing they know, there they are, still in their golf attire, bags on their shoulders, standing in front of the Pearly Gates. They all make to stroll right on in when up comes St. Peter with this really stern look. "Okay, why do any of you deserve to get into Heaven?" Pete points at one guy and says "You! How about it?" The first guy says, "Well, I'm this famous doctor and I invented the artifical hip joint. Now, millions of people who would have been stuck in wheelchairs are now able to walk because they had their hip joints replaced with my invention." Peter rubs his chin a minute, then says, "Yeah, that's pretty neat ... go ahead on in."
Then St. Peter looks at the next guy in line and asks him for his story. He says, "I was one of the best surgeons on the earth! I invented an artifical heart that lets people whose hearts have failed to continue living for years due to having my invention in their body." Pete thinks for a minute, and says, "Y'know, that's wonderful! Welcome! Come on in!"
St. Peter finally turns his gaze to the last man, and asks him, "So, what makes you so special?" To which the man replied, "Well! I'm the CEO of the largest Health Maintenance Organization in the world!" Pete scrathes his head a few seconds, then says, "You know, that is absolutely fabulous. You can stay three days."
Cheers,
Bob
