Got the idea from this webcomic:
Pat marries Taylor.
Taylor gets hit by a car and dies.
Pat remarries Alex, who is later also killed by a car.
Grief-stricken, Pat is struck by a car a month later.
All three are in heaven. Is Pat married to Taylor, to Alex, or neither? What if Pat and Alex died in the same accident? What if Pat died first? I think it not only points out the absurdity of an afterlife, but also that even people who believe in heaven still live like this is their only life.
