A couple about to be married are killed in a traffic accident on their way to their wedding. As they stand in line before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates of Heaven, they still want to get married. When it's their turn, they ask St. Peter if they can still get married in Heaven. He gets a worried look, and tells them, "I'll get back to you," and runs inside the Gates.
He's gone for hours, eventually days, and the couple get to talking. And they realize that, well, in Heaven, being married would literally be forever, and that's a bit of a scary prospect.
Finally, St. Peter returns after a few weeks, looking haggard and exhausted. "Yes," he tells the couple, "we can marry you here in Heaven."
Then the couple asks him if it's possible... just in case, you know, to get a divorce in Heaven.
St. Peter's eyes widen in shock. "It took me all this time just to find a priest up here, now you want me to try to find a lawyer?!"
