John and Paul wanted to know if there is baseball in heaven So they made a pact. Whoever died first would tell the other one if there is in fact baseball in heaven. John dies and he tells Paul, ""I have good news and bad news"". John says ""The good news is yes, there is baseball in heaven"". So Paul asks ""So what is the bad news then"" and John's reply is ""The bad news is that you are pitching on Wednesday.""
