Old lady asked her friend for a favor, but she never saw the twist coming

 

"I’m telling you it’s me, Bertha," insisted the voice.

"Bertha! Where are you?"

"In heaven," replied Bertha. "I have some really good news and a little bad news."

"Tell me the good news first," said Betty.

"The good news," Bertha said, "is that there’s women’s softball in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before me are here, too. Even better than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s always springtime and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired."

"That’s fantastic," said Betty. "It’s beyond my wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?"

"You’re pitching Tuesday."
