I got this lovely story from a friend recently
:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“A young man went to bed, kissed his wife and fell asleep.
Suddenly he woke up and saw an elderly man in a white robe standing next to the bed.
- Who are you and what are you doing in my bedroom?
- I am Saint Peter and you are not in your bedroom, said the man.
- Huh!? Do you mean I'm dead? I am so young, said the man. Send me back to my wife at once!
- It is not that simple, said Saint Peter. You only have two chances to get back to Earth. The first is like a dog...
- Like a dog? the man exclaimed. No, it doesn't suit me. What is the other possibility?
- It is to come back as a hen, answered the Lord.
- Okay, let me be a hen! the man decided.
Said and done. The young man turned into a beautiful hen and found himself back on Earth, in a henhouse. Soon he felt a strange sensation in his behind.
- I'm going to explode, he thought. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Then a rooster came up to him.
- You must be the new hen that Saint Peter told about. How does your new life feel? he asked the hen.
- Pretty good, but I have such a strange feeling, as if I'm going to explode, answered the man.
- Yes, laughed the rooster, you must lay an egg!
- And how do I do it? I have never laid an egg!
- You crow twice and then you push as long as you can. So do all the other hens, explained the rooster.
The man crowed twice and pushed as hard as he could and an egg came out!
- It went well! I'll do it again, the man thought. He crowed again and pushed, and out came another egg.
And because it felt so good, he did it one more time. As he crowed, he suddenly heard a voice:
- Henry, wake up, goddamnit, you're pooping all over our bed!
