Saint Peter is working his shift at the Gates of Heaven when three men arrive. He turns to one of them and says: "Greetings, son. Tell me how you ended up here and we will see where you will go."

The man replies: "Well, sir, I suspected my wife was cheating on me, so I came back home early to catch her in the act. I barged into the room and scrutinized it, looking for the other man. My wife protested, and I was about to concede and apologize when I saw the tips of a man's fingers at the window.  I ran up there and saw a man hanging outside! I lost control. I punched the bastard and forced his hand, making him plunge down all the 15 stories of the building where I lived. But when I looked down... He was stil alive! I got crazy! I looked for something to throw at him and finish him off. I wasn't thinking, and I saw my fridge, and I pushed it out the window, killing the bastard. Then it was too much, I had a heart attack and here I am. I cannot say I am happy about it, but I was protecting my marriage"

"That is grave, son. I cannot let you through the Pearly Gates. You will have to spend some time in the Purgatory. Please step through that door over there", Saint Peter says, indicating a door to the man. He nodded and went to the Purgatory.

Next, Saint Peter calls the second man and asks him to tell how he died. The man replies: "I worked installing safety nets on people's windows. It didn't pay much, but I wanted to help people feel safe. Sadly, I was working on the 16th floor of a building and slipped and fell out. I was terrified, but somehow I barely managed to hold on to the window below, but out of nowhere a man came up to me, punched me and forced me down. I dropped to what I thought would be the end of me, but my fall was cushioned by some bushes and I survived, albeit severely injured. I think I could've recovered, but then the crazy man simply threw his fridge on me all the way from the 15th floor. And here I am..."

Saint Peter looks at him deeply and says: "Sorry to hear that, but you can go through the gates of heaven", and lets the man through. "What about you, young man?", he asks, turning to the third man.

"So, you're not going to believe this, but I was hiding naked inside a fridge..."
