Colin came home from the pub late one Friday evening, stinking drunk – as he often did – and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep.
He gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.
When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white robe.
“Who the hell are you?” demanded Colin, “and what are you doing in my bedroom?”
The mysterious man answered, “This isn’t your bedroom and I’m St Peter”.
Colin was stunned, “You mean I’m dead!!! That can’t be, I have so much to live for. I haven’t said goodbye to my family…. you’ve got to send me back straight away”.
St Peter replied, “Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen.”
