Some Good Jokes And Something Supernatural:-)
   
Hi!Everybody.
 
 
Of all tales of the supernatural, this one is perhaps the best
documented, the most disturbing and the most difficult to explain.
The Princess of Amen-Ra lived some 1,500 yrs before Christ. When
she died, she was laid in an ornate wooden coffin and buried deep
in a vault at Luxor, on the banks of the Nile. In the late 1890s,
4 rich young Englishmen visiting the excavations at Luxor were invited
to buy an exquisitely fashioned mummy case containing the remains of
Princess of Amen-Ra. They drew lots. The man who won paid several
thousand pounds and had the coffin taken to his hotel. A few hours later,
he was seen walking out towards the desert. He never returned. The next
day, one of the remaining 3 men was shot by an Egyptian servant
accidentally. His arm was so severely wounded it had to be amputated.
The 3rd man in the foursome found on his return home that the bank holding
his entire savings had failed. The 4th guy suffered a severe illness,
lost his job and was reduced to selling matches in the street.
Nevertheless, the coffin reached England (causing other misfortunes
along the way), where it was bought by a London businessman. After 3
of his family members had been injured in a road accident and his house
damaged by fire, the businessman donated it to the British Museum.
As the coffin was being unloaded from a truck in the museum courtyard, the
truck suddenly went into reverse and trapped a passer-by. Then as
the casket was being lifted up the stairs by two workmen, one fell and
broke his leg. The other, apparently in perfect health, died unaccountably >
two days later. Once the Princess was installed in the Egyptian Room,
trouble really started. Museum's night watchmen frequently heard frantic
hammering and sobbing from the coffin. Other exhibits in the room
were also often hurled about at night. One watchman died on duty;
causing the other watchmen wanting to quit. Cleaners refused to go near
the princess too. When a visitor derisively flicked a dustcloth at the
face painted on the coffin, his child died of measles soon afterwards.
Finally, the authorities had the mummy carried down to the basement.
Figuring it could not do any harm down there. Within a week, one of
the helpers was seriously ill, and the supervisor of the move was found
dead on his desk. By now, the papers had heard of it. A journalist
photographer took a picture of the mummy case and when he developed it, the
painting on the coffin was of a horrifying, human face. The photographer was
said to have went home then, locked his bedroom door and shot himself.
Soon afterwards, the museum sold the mummy to a private collector.
After continual misfortune (and deaths), the owner banished it to the
attic. A well known authority on the occult, Madame Helena Blavatsky,
visited the premises. Upon entry, she was seized with a shivering fit and
searched the house for the source of "an evil influence of incredible
intensity." She finally came to the attic and found the mummy case.
"Can you exorcise this evil spirit?" asked the owner. "There is no such
thing as exorcism. Evil remains evil forever. Nothing can be done about it.
I implore you to get rid of this evil as soon as possible." But no British
museum would take the mummy; the fact that almost 20 people had met with
misfortune, disaster or death from handling the casket, in barely 10 yrs,
was now well known. Eventually, a hard-headed American archaeologist
(who dismissed the happenings as quirks of circumstance), paid a handsome
price for the mummy and arranged for its removal to New York. In April 1912, the new
owner escorted its treasure aboard a sparkling, new White Star liner
about to make its maiden voyage to New York. On the night of April 14,
amid scenes of unprecedented horror, the Princess of Amen-Ra accompanied
1,500 passengers to their deaths at the bottom of the Atlantic. The name
of the ship was the Titanic.

The Scene: The Pearly Gates to Heaven. St Peter
is receptionist at the entrance. A cat shows up.

St Peter says "I know you! You were a very nice
cat on earth and didn't cause any trouble, so I
want to offer a gift to you of one special thing
you have always wanted."

Cat: "Well, I did always long to own a nice satin
pillow like my master had, so I could lie on it."

St Peter: "That's easy. Granted. You shall have
the satin pillow after you enter in."

Next a group of mice appeared.

St Peter: "Ah, I remember you. You were such good
mice on earth. You didn't steal food from anyone's
house and never hurt other animals. Therefore, I
want to grant you one special wish you always
wanted."

The Chief Mouse replied, "Well, we always watched
the children playing and saw them roller skate,
and it was beautiful, and it looked like so much
fun. So can we each have some roller skates,
please?"

St Peter: "Granted. You shall have your wish."

Next day, St Peter is making the rounds inside the
Gates, and sees the cat. "Well, Cat...Did you enjoy
the satin pillow?"

Cat: "Oh, indeed I did. And say...that "Meals on Wheels"
thing was a nice touch, too!"
