O/T Forrest Gump goes to heaven

[Guest guest]

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, i t'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 an d 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

and 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 got! ta be tw elve: January 2nd, February

2nd, March 2nd. . ... " " Hold it, " interrupts St. Peter. " I se e 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

Cute. Reminds me of Robert Fulghum's idea

that God's last name was Howard, his mother's

maiden name. His father, Howard in heaven.
