以下は笑い話で一読後ニヤリとしていればよい類のものですがこれを真面目に解釈して英文にしてみませんか?英会話の話題としてご利用頂けるほかフェイスブックページの英文添削コーナーで英文添削も承ります。

There was a line of men standing in front of the Pearly Gates, waiting to get in. A sign overhead read: FOR MEN WHO HAVE BEEN DOMINATED ALL THEIR LIVES BY THEIR WIVES. The line extended as far as the eye could see.
There was another sign nearby: FOR MEN WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN DOMINATED BY THEIR WIVES. One man was standing under it.
St. Peter came over to him and said, “What are you standing here for?”
The man said, “I don’t know. My wife told me to stand here.”
