Three men all die in an accident and met Saint Peter in front of the pearly gates.

Peter begins to roll his eyes and the second man comes up to Peter and nudges the first.

Saint Peter motions for the third man to continue.

"And what happened after that?" Asked Saint Peter.

"Well, after three days they roll the stone away from the entrance. Eventually, the man who was hung up on the cross comes out of the cave, and if he sees his shadow we have six more weeks of winter!"
