An American, a Scot and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident.
They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of
them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe
tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the
doctors and nurses present asked him what happened. "Well," said the
American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful
light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the
gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all
too young to die, and said that for a donation of $50, we could
return to earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him the
$50, and the next thing I knew I was back here."

That's amazing!" said the one of the doctors, "But what happened to
the other two?"

"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over
the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay his."
