Stairs to Heaven

[ The following joke has been improvised for safety purposes and the names mentioned are not based on any real life character/people ]






Matthew , Afiq and Ah Meng met in the afterworld , awaiting thier fate which is to go to heaven or hell..

God appeared and told them " Your mind have to be pure to be able to enter heaven , therefore , each of you will take turns to ascend the stairway of dirty jokes which at every step , you will be told a dirty joke , should you laugh , you will be thrown into hell , but should you be able to keep a clean thought and not laugh all the way up the 100-steps , you shall be accepted into heaven "

So , they all decided that Matthew should go first and then he started ...
At the first 3 steps , his emotions were not anywhere near joy or laughter , but when he reached the 7th step , he was told a joke that was so funny he could not help it and burst into laughter , then he was on a one way trip into hell and could only witness the other two being tested sadly.

Then , came Afiq , he too was very calm for the first few steps and even made it pass the 7th step and on to the 10th step but then the same thing happened to Afiq at the 18th step and he burst out into a laughter and was also sent on a one way trip to hell.

Last but not least , it was Ah Meng's turn , he started ascending the steps and looked as if he was very very calm and was really having a pure mind after all as he passed the 50th step ... and the 70th step ... and then when he reached the 99th step , he burst out into a laughter and was thrown down into hell along with the other two.

In hell , Matthew and Afiq who were baffled asked Ah Meng , " Was the 99th joke that funny you could not just hold on for ONE more step ? "

And Ah Meng said " Whoever said the 99th joke was funny ? "

" Then ? What were you laughing at ? "




" Well , I finally understood the first joke "
