After she had been there for several weeks and she began to feel fairly comfortable with her new environment, St. Peter approached her and asked her if she would like to take his place at the pearly gates while he was on vacation, checking to make sure that people spelled words correctly to gain admission and she agreed to do that for him. Things were going smoothly as she stood at the entrance to the heavenly gates and she was feeling pretty comfortable with her new assignment until off in the distance she saw her ex-husband in line for his possible admission to heaven.
When it was his turn, his ex-wife asked him: "What are you doing here?" He replied: "Is this heaven?" She responded: "Yes, it is." He said back to her: "I died several days ago so may I come in?" "NOt so fast, bustard!" she said. "In order to gain admission to heaven you have to correctly spell a word first, got it?" And so he asked her: "What's the word?" She thought a moment and replied: "Czechoslovakia!"
