25 years ago, three kids were playing in the street in East London when they got hit by a lorry and killed.
They all go to heaven and God says to them, "You weren't supposed to die - you were all supposed to live out your lives. This was not your time. To make it up to you, I'll let you choose what you want to do with your life. Take a running jump off of that cloud over there, and as you're flying back down to Earth, shout out what you want to do. And so it shall be."
The first kid takes a running leap and shouts "I want to be a barrister." And so, twenty five years on, he is a very successful lawyer, making lots of money, with an upcoming appointment to the High Court.
The second kid takes his turn and shouts "I want to be a brain surgeon." And so, twenty five years later, he is the most admired man in his field of medicine and making a ton of money saving lives.
The third kid goes to take his turn, and as he runs he trips over his own feet and stumbles off the cloud muttering "... clumsy great twat ..."
And so, twenty five years on ... he's still playing centre back for Cheatski and England.
