On their way to get married, a young couple was killed in a car
crash. At the Pearly Gates they asked St. Peter if they could get married in
Heaven? St. Peter answered, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has
asked. Let me go find out," and he left.
The couple sat and waited for an answer for two months. While waiting, they
began to speculate that if they be allowed to marry in Heaven - what about
the eternal aspect of it all? "What if it doesn't work out?" they wondered,
"Will we stuck together FOREVER?".

bedraggled. "Yes," he informed the couple, "you CAN get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things don't
work out? Will we be able to get a divorce in Heaven?".
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground. "OH,
COME ON!!". he shouted, "It took me three months to find a priest up here!
Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?".
