English Original
A woman who died found herself standing outside the Pearly Gates, greeted by St. Peter.
She asked, "Is this really heaven? Did I make it?"
"Yes," St. Peter replied, "but you must do one more thing before you enter."
Excited, she asked what it was.
"Spell a word," he said. "Any word."
"Love," she promptly replied. "L-o-v-e."
St. Peter congratulated her and asked if she would mind watching the gates while he stepped away briefly.
"I'd be honored," she said. "What should I do if someone comes?"
"Just have them spell a word, as you did," he reassured her.
As she sat in his chair, a man approached. It was her husband.
"What happened? Why are you here?" she cried.
He stared, then said, "I was drunk leaving your funeral, got into an accident. Am I in heaven?"
"Not yet," she replied. "You must spell a word first."
"What word?" he asked.
The woman responded, "Czechoslovakia."

一位逝去的妇人发现自己站在天堂门前，圣彼得迎接了她。
她问道：“这里真的是天堂吗？我成功进来了？”
“是的，”圣彼得回答，“但在进入之前，你还必须做一件事。”
妇人兴奋地问是什么事。
“拼写一个单词，”他说，“任何单词都可以。”
“爱，”她立刻回答，“L-o-v-e。”
圣彼得向她道贺，并问她是否介意在他暂时离开时帮忙看管大门。
“我很荣幸，”她说，“如果有人来了我该怎么办？”
“就像你刚才做的那样，让他们拼写一个单词就好，”他安慰道。
正当她坐在他的椅子上时，一个男人走了过来。那是她的丈夫。
“发生什么事了？你怎么会在这里？”她喊道。
他愣了一下，然后说：“我从你的葬礼上喝醉了离开，出了车祸。我这是在天堂吗？”
“还没呢，”她回答，“你必须先拼对一个单词。”
“什么单词？”他问。
妇人回答道：“捷克斯洛伐克。”
