I had a dream last night.
It seems that three vintage racers died and went to heaven (OK, give me a
break! Suspend reality for a moment, this is a joke!) The all arrived at the
Pearly Gates at the same time.
St. Peter said, let me explain how things work up here. I'll review your
record in The Big Log Book, and based on your record, you will be given a
vehicle in keeping with your performance, both on and off of the track.
In order to protect the guilty, we will refer to the three deceaseds as,
Tom, Dick and Harry.
Tom was the first to stand before St. Peter while he reviewed the log book.
He sort of frowned and said, "Hmm, I see here that you had one 13/13 and
also, that you were also unfaithful to your wife four times during your
marriage. I think we will give you WST's Red Rat Sprite to drive."
Dick was next. St. Peter looked over the log book very carefully and said,
"I see that you had to take your car back through tech one time because of
and oil leak and that on two occasions, you didn't wear your Nomex socks
while racing. Also, I see that in the early years of your marriage you had
two incidents of infidelity, but you changed your way of living after that
and remained faithful to your wife. I also see that in your later years, you
were even observed sneaking into the back row at Rev. Phil's devotional
services. I think we will give you Black Bart's Sprite to drive."
Harry was the last. St. Peter read the book carefully, he smiled as he
closed it and said, "Harry, you have lead an exemplary life.! You have never
had a 13/13. Your car always passed tech. You always attended Drivers
Meeting, your were a regular at Rev. Phil's and in spite of many
opportunities for affairs with beautiful women, you were always faithful to
your wife. I believe we will give you this perfectly restored Ferrari 250
Testa Rossa to drive in heaven.
Some months later Tom and Dick were out for a drive on the"twisties" and
they came upon Harry who had the Testa Rossa pulled off to the side of the
road. He was beating on the steering wheel and crying in frustration. They
asked him what the problem was. He said, "My wife just went past me on Dr.
Jahamiak's pit scooter!"
