Tony died and was sent to be judged. He was told that he had cheated on his income taxes, and the only way he could get into heaven would be to pair off with a highly unappealing woman for the next five years and enjoy it. Tony decided that this was a small price to pay for an eternity in heaven. So off he went, pretending to be happy.

As he was walking along, he saw his friend Carlos with an even more unappealing woman. When he approached Carlos he asked what was going on, and Carlos replied "I cheated on my income taxes and scammed the government out of a lot of money." They both commiserated and figured that as long as they were effectively stuck with these partners, they might as well hang out together to pass the time.

Now Tony, Carlos, and their two partners were walking along, when they saw their friend Jon up ahead, with an extremely appealing woman. Stunned, they asked how he wound up with such a lovely lady, while they ended up with their unappealing partners. Jon replied "I have no idea, and I'm definitely not complaining. This has been absolutely wonderful!

"There's only one thing that I can't seem to understand. After every time we pitch woo, she rolls over and murmurs to herself, 'Darned income taxes!'"
