St. Peter is standing in front of the Pearly Gates humming an unpublished John Denver song when Michael Kennedy shows up.
"Not another Kennedy! OK, why are you here?" asks St. Peter.
"I was playing touch football and skied into a tree," Michael replies.
St. Peter mumbles something about mistress, underage and heart attack and waves him in.
Before St. Peter can resume humming, Sonny Bono shows up.
"OK, why are you here?"
Sonny answers, "I was skiing alone and ran into a tree."
"Go on in but I want to talk to your later about Cher," explains St. Peter as he waves Sonny passed the gates.
No sooner had Sonny entered when an environmentalist shows up.
St. Peter looks him over and asks, "I thought you were off saving the rain forest. What are you doing here?"
"Well, I just thought if I dressed up like a tree I could go out on the ski slopes, meet important people and explain our cause."
