As I mentioned, I have the flu.
Last night I dreamt I croaked. Found myself walking along a meadow path. The air was scented of roses and Canada thistle wafted by a gentle breeze. There were cloud bursts here and there, but never where I was walking. "Could it be any better than this?" I wondered. Every so often, I'd pass a long deceased relative or friend. Lots of hugs. Strangers would greet me in their own languages, but I could understand them.
Shortly, I came to a small lake. Just as I sat down, a fellow rode up on a horse, dismounted, and gave me a fishing rod. "You'll find they are biting on the red and white lure. Then, he reached into his saddle bag and gave me a lunch box - cold chicken, honey mustard, and buttered buns. "The wine's by the buns," he told me.
Just as he was going to mount up to ride away, I asked him, "Why so few Americans?"
"Oh, they're in another part of the afterlife," he answered. I could hear gunfire and screams in the distance.
"Do they know where they are?"
"Nope, they got to keep their guns. They think they're in heaven!"
