Here is the joke:
One day, Derek Red, a 78 year old man, married Rachel, a 21 year old girl. Rachel went out one day, and Derek waited for her through the night. In the morning she still hadnt come back, and he though she might be sleeping with someone else. His heart began beating quickly. He ran to the apartments across the road, his heart beating pretty fast. He ran up the stairs all the way to the top, his heart beating very fast and loud. He ran to the end door and smashed it open. As his heart began to stop, he saw his wife putting on her clothes. He cried, and ran to the window. Outside he saw a man running as fast as he could with his tie off and his shirt out. Derek was angry, and he saw the fridge in the flat. He picked it up, and dropped it out of the window onto the man, who was killed. Derek's heart suddenly stopped, and he died. In the gates of heaven, Derek stood with some other people. An angel came and read out a list.
"Mr Red!" she said, and Derek came forward.
"How did you die?" she asked.
"I thought that my wife was sleeping with another man, and my heart stopped." Derek said.
"Okay." said the angel. "Mr. White!" she said. The man with his tie off and shirt out stepped forward.
"How did you die?" she asked.
"Well, I was really late for work, so I grabbed all my clothes and ran as fast as I could to work, but I was crushed by a fridge!" he said.
"Okay." said the angel again. "Mr. Black!" she called.
Another man stepped forward.
"How did you die?" she asked. The man replied, "Well, I was in this fridge....
