Forrest Gump in Heaven ...


The day finally arrived; Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at
the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are
closed and Forrest approaches the Gatekeeper.

St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We have
heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is
filling up fast, and we've been administering an entrance examination
for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can
get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It shor is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But
nobody ever tolt me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't
too hard; life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter goes on, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three
questions.

First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?

Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and
sees St. Peter who waves him up and says, "Now that you have had a
chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."

Forrest says, "Well, the first one - which two days in the week begin
with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one's easy. That'd be Today and
Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that's not what I
was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I didn't specify, so
I'll give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asks St.
Peter. "How many seconds in a year?"

"Now that one's harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk about that
a nod I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's
name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

Forrest says "Shucks, there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February
2nd, March 2nd..., and so on."

"Hold it, interrupts St. Peter. I see where you're going with this, and
I see your point, though that wasn't quite what I had in mind.....but
I'll have to give you credit for that one, too. Let's go on with the
third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?

"Sure" Forrest replied, "its Andy."

"Andy?!" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. "Ok, I can
understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions,
but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the
first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it
from the song.. "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I
AM HIS OWN . . ."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said: "Run Forrest, run!!"

Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
and pass it on to other folk.)

Good one
