This was posted on my RootsWeb email newsletter, today, and I thought those in the UK might esp. get a kick out of it:

HUMOR.
Thanks to Clare McKillop for this joke, which she reports was told to her by her dad and she has no other idea of the source.

RUGBY HEAVEN

Mr. Jones dies and finds himself at the Pearly Gates where a saint is standing guard.

"Well, Mr. Jones, before I can let you in I have to ask if there is anything in your life that you are ashamed of?"

"Sir, there is one incident for which I feel real remorse. I used to play rugby for Wales, and during the last match of the Five Nations cup (this was before 1999) I went over the line and was awarded a try. It was the deciding factor in Wales winning the cup for the first time in several years, but it really wasn't a try as my foot went into touch. Neither the line judge nor the referee noticed and we won the game. I should have owned up, but I just couldn't admit my shame. I suppose I have to go to the other place now."

"Of course not, Mr. Jones. You are lucky it's Saint Peter's day off. I'm Saint David."
