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 said, "Well, Forrest, It
is 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 have 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 sure is Good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever
told me about any entrance Exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too
hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued, "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
replied, "Well, the First one -- which two days in the week begins with
the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and
Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed,
"Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I
guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How
about the next one?" asked St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?
Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... "
"Hold
it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I
see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I
will have to give
you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's 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."
