The one about cricket....
Two old guys, Jack and Bill, are sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and talking about cricket, like they do every day. Jack turns to Bill and says, "Do you think there's cricket in heaven?"
Bill thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal: if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's cricket in heaven, and if you die first, you do the same."
They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Jack passes on. One day soon afterwards, Bill is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper, "Bill... Bill..."
Bill responds, "Jack! Is that you?"
"Yes it is, Bill," whispers Jack's ghost.
Bill, still amazed, asks, "So, is there cricket in heaven?"
"Well," says Jack, "I've got good news and bad news."
"Give me the good news first," says Bill.
Jack says, "Well... there is cricket in heaven."
Bill says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that!?"
Jack sighs and whispers, "You're opening the bowling on Friday."
