A blonde, a brunette and a red-head met up at the gates of Heaven after they died. An angel appeared before them.
“Okay,” the angel says, “in order for you to be accepted into this glorious afterlife, you must climb the 100-step Stairway to Heaven. Each step you take, I'll tell you a joke. If you laugh, you'll be sent straight to Hell.”
The brunette went up the Stairway to Heaven first. After climbing 42 steps, the 43rd joke cracked her up, so she fell through the clouds and went to Hell.
The red-head went next. She made it 67 steps, but then she laughed, so she was sent to Hell, too.
The blonde was the last to climb the Stairway to Heaven. By the 99th step, everyone was certain she would make it to Heaven, but when the angel told her the last joke, she started to laugh, so she was sent to Hell like the others.
The three met up in Hell. “What happened?” the brunette asked the blonde.
“Yeah!” said the red-head. “You were so close to getting into Heaven! Why'd you laugh?”
The blonde replied, “I just got the first joke!”
