Ducks in Heaven

(单词翻译:单击)
Three women die in a car accident and go to Heaven. Saint Peter meets them at the Gates and welcomes them saying "you can do as you please in Heaven, just don't step on any ducks."
The women are puzzled but proceed into Heaven. Looking around, they notice there are ducks everywhere. In a matter of minutes, one of the women steps on a duck.
Saint Peter walks up to the woman with a
hideously1 ugly man. Saint Peter
shackles2 the man and the woman together and says, "for stepping on a duck, you have to spend
eternity3 chained to this ugly man."
The other two women are shocked but go about their business until, sure enough, another woman steps on a duck. Immediately Saint Peter comes and shackles her to another ugly man.
The last woman tries
desperately4 to not step on a duck. After a few months of not stepping on any ducks, Saint Peter walks up to the woman accompanied by a
stunningly5 handsome man. He shackles the woman to the man and after a while, the woman being thrilled to be chained to such a handsome man, says "I don't know what I did to deserve this."
The man replies, "I don't know what you did lady, but I stepped on a duck."
