A woman was worried whether or not her dead husband made it to heaven, so she prays earnestly for God to allow him to speak to her.
“Hello Margaret, this is Fred.”
“Fred!” she exclaimed. “I just have to know if you’re happy there in the afterlife. What’s it like there?”
“Ooooooh, it’s much more beautiful here than I ever imagined,” Fred answered. “The sky is bluer, the air is cleaner, and the pastures are much more lush and green than I ever expected. I lack for nothing; the only thing we do, all day long, are eat and sleep, eat and sleep, over and over.”
“Thank God, you made it to heaven,” his wife cried.
“Heaven?” he answered. “I’m a buffalo in Montana.”
