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 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.
(a great big thanks to "coffeetalk" for this one)
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
"Forrest, that is not what I
was thinking, but you do
have a point, and 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,
not quite what I had in
mind ... but I will have to
give you credit for that , 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 , butjust how in the world did
you come up with the name
Andy as Gods first name?
"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.' "
"Run Forrest, run!"
