Jun. 3, 2006 - FOREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump goes to heaven.
He is at the pearly gates, met by saint Peter himself.
St Peter said, "Well Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard alot 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 told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't to hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St Peter continued to say, Yes I know Forrest, but the test is only three questions:
First: What two days of the week begins with the letter T?
seconed: How many secondes 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 over, 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 begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one was easy. That would be today and tommorow."
The saints eyes opened widecand he exlaimed, 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 seconeds in a year? Now that one was harder," replied Forrest,
"But i thunk and I thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, st. Peter saiad, "twelve? twelve"? Forrest how in heavens name could you come up with twelve secondes in a year?"
Forrest replied, "shucks, there've got to be twelve: January 2nd,
February 2nd etc!!"
"Hold it,"interrupts St. Peter."I see where you are going with this, anad 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, to. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name?"
"Sure,"Forest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?" exlaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter. Ok I can understand how you came up with youre answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name like Andy as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,"
Forrest replied."I learnt it from the methodist hymn.
In the garden( I walk in the garden alone)
"ANDY WALKES WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WIITH ME,
ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN...."
St. Peter opened the pearly gates, and said: Run Forrest, run."
