I HAD A DREAM THAT I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN AND YOU
WERE THERE AND WE BOTH MET UP WITH ST. PAUL. ST. PAUL TOOK
US THROUGH THESE GATES WHERE YOU WERE TO MEET YOUR MATE FOR
ETERNITY. WHILE WE WERE WALKING ALONG YOU MET ONE
OF YOUR FRIENDS AND THE FRIEND WAS MATED WITH A REALLY UGLY,
GROSS-LOOKING MONSTER. YOU SAID, "WHY IS MY FRIEND
MATED WITH SUCH AN UGLY CHARACTER?" ST. PAUL SAID, "YOUR
FRIEND LED A BAD LIFE ON EARTH AND WHEN PEOPLE LEAD BAD
LIVES ON EARTH THEY ARE TEAMED UP WITH UGLY CREATURES."
WE KEPT WALKING ALONG AND YOU SAW ANOTHER FRIEND
WHO WAS ALSO TEAMED UP WITH ANOTHER UGLY GODZILLA. "I
SUPPOSE HE LED A BAD LIFE ON EARTH ALSO!" YOU
SAID. WE KEPT WALKING AND WE FINALLY MET
MS AMERICA 1987 AND YOU WERE MATED WITH HER.
YOU SAID, "WHY DID MY FRIENDS GET THOSE UGLY MONSTERS
AND I'M MATED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN?" ST. PAUL SAID,
"YOU SEE, MS AMERICA LED A VERY BAD LIFE ON EARTH AND
YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF MATE YOU GET UP HERE WHEN THAT HAPPENS."

Submitter comment: ENTRY WAS TOLD TO ME AS A DREAM BUT IT WAS REALLY A JOKE -
USING MY NAME INSTEAD OF YOURS.
