A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the after life.

The woman's biggest fear was that there was no heaven.

After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word, he made contact.

"Mary... Mary..." Awestruck, Mary responds, "Is that you Fred?" "Yes, I have come back like we agreed."

"Well, what is it like?"

Fred excitedly tells his tale, "Well, when I get up in the morning I have sex, then I have breakfast, then I have sex again, then I bathe in the sun, then I have sex twice more, then I have lunch, then I have sex all afternoon and into the early evening, until bedtime. And, then, I start all over again the next day."

So happy Mary says, "Oh Fred, you surely must be in heaven."

Fred replies, "Hell no, Mary, I'm a rabbit in Kansas."
