Says someone who has never tried.
Quote:
Once there was a man who wanted to take his money with him beyond the grave. One evening, when he was thinking about death, he prayed fervently about this. An angel appeared to him and said, “Sorry, you can’t take all your wealth with you after death, but the Lord will allow you to take one suitcase. Fill it with whatever you wish.” Overjoyed the man got the largest suitcase he could find and filled it with pure gold bars. Soon afterward, he died and showed up at the gates of heaven.
St. Peter, seeing the suitcase, said, “Hold on, you can’t bring that in here with you.” The man explained how God had given him special permission.” St. Peter checked it out with the angel Gabriel and the story was verified. “Okay,” said St. Peter, “You can bring the suitcase in with you, but first I must check its contents.” He opened the suitcase to see what worldly items this man had considered too precious to leave behind. “I don’t believe it!” said St. Peter. “You brought pavement?”
