A Mistake
An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. Give me $500 each, he said, and I'll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened.
Done! said the American. Instantly, he found himself standing unhurt near the scene.
Where are the others? asked a medic.
Last I knew, said the American, the Scot was haggling price, and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay.
