Thought for the day: Hypothesis and heaven

'There is no doubt in my mind that my 'strokes' were down to an over-indulgence in alcohol,'  Johnny pronounced last week, staring at me over the rims of his spectacles.

He continued, 'I was talking to Ron on Sunday.  He told me that his last stroke was down to over-indulgence.  " 'Do you know John?' Ron said to me, 'the doctors told me I was clinically dead for two minutes?'
'Did you see any angels?' I enquired.
'No, not a bloody thing.'
'Pity, it would be nice to have a preview.'"
