A Texas oil man, a New York stock broker, and a woman attorney from
California had all died recently and were standing in line at the Pearly
Gates waiting for their chance at entrance into heaven.

St. Peter called the Texan first. "We have only one simple requirement for
entrance here," St. Peter said. "You must spell 'God'."

"Easy enough," said the Texan. "G-O-D." And he entered heaven. 

Next, St. Peter called the stock broker. "We have only one simple
requirement for entrance here," he said. "You must spell 'God'."

"No problem," said the stock broker. "G-O-D." ....And in he went. 

Finally, the woman approached St. Peter. "Good riddance to the world," she
said. "My whole life, I've tried to excel in a male-dominated world, only
to continuously bump into the proverbial 'glass ceilings' at every turn. I
can't tell you, St. Peter, how glad I am finally to be rid of the world
and its male chauvinism." 

"Well, you'll certainly find none of that here," said St. Peter. "I'm sure
you'll enjoy heaven, if you can meet this one simple requirement for
entrance. 

You must spell 'Czechoslovakia'....."
