Janet, Paula, and Marcie went to the rodeo. Unfortunately, a big bull jumped the fence into the spectators and they were trampled. Being good God fearing women, they ascended up to Heaven where they were met at the gate by St. Peter.

He said, "Welcome to Heaven ladies. I must warn you that we do have our rules here in Heaven. If you break the rules, you will be punished. One rule is, don't step on a duck. If you step on a duck, the duck quacks, then they all quack and it just goes on and on." That sounded simple enough.

Marcie said, "Wow, I wonder what I did to deserve this? "I don't know what you did," said the man, "but I stepped on a duck. "
