Gerald Ford goes to hell When Gerald Ford died, he found himself in hell, which puzzled him greatly. ""How is it that I'm in hell?"" He wondered, ""I was a good Christian, I was faithful to my wife and country, never stole, lied or cheated...yet here I am."" While he was pondering this, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and he turned to see Richard Nixon, saying ""Pardon me, Gerald..."" With that, he knew why he was in hell.
