A young black man died and appeared at the Pearly Gates only to be told "You can't come in here!"

"Why not?" He demanded to know.

"Because this place is reserved for the bravest of the brave."

"Well Hell," he says. "I'm one of the bravest men that have ever lived!"

"Oh yeah! What did you ever do that was so brave?"

"I married a white girl on the courthouse steps in Hattiesburg, Mississippi!"

"Wow! That really was brave. When did you do that?"

"About two minutes ago."
