Tom and Diamond Ring.

A 48-year-old named Tom Wallace bought a beautiful diamond ring, because he was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He went to the office the next morning and left the ring at home by mistake. At lunch time, the woman, who lived in the flat next door to Tom, phoned him at the office and told him she had heard noises coming from his flat. She wanted to know if she should call the police.

Tom suddenly remembered about the ring, and without answering her he left. He wanted to take a taxi, but he couldn’t, so he ran the two miles home.

When he arrived at the building where he lived, he found that the lift wasn’t working there either. So he ran up the four flights of stairs to his flat and then remembered that he had left his keys at the office, but nothing could stop him now. He kicked in the door and rushed into the flat. Then he ran into the living room and found that the ring was missing from the desk. He looked everywhere for the robber, searching under the bed and in the cupboards. He was frantic. Then he rushed to the window and saw a man walking out of the front door of the building four floors below.

“That’s him”, he thought and ran into the kitchen, pushed the fridge into the living room, and heaved it out of the window onto the man down below. Then, suddenly poor old Tom had a heart attack.

At the gates of heaven, some time later, three men stood waiting for. St. Peter. To pass the time they asked each other how they had died.

The first man said, “Well, I was walking out of a block of flats when some idiot dropped a fridge on my head. What could I do?”

The second one said, “Well, I had to run all the way across the town and then had a heart attack from pushing the fridge out of the window of my flat.”

Then the two men asked the third man how he had died.

“Well,” he said, “there I was sitting in this fridge ... ”.
