Forrest Gump Goes to Heaven
The day finally arrives that Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He walks up to the Pearly Gates and is met by St. Peter himself.
The good
saint says: "Well, Forrest, we're glad to see you. We certainly have heard a lot about
you. I must let you know, however, that the
place is filling up fast, so we have been giving an entrance examination to everyone. The test is short
but you have to pass before you can get into Heaven. You need to answer these three questions:
1. What days of the week begin with the letter
"T"? 2. How many seconds are there in a year? 3. What is God's first name?
Forrest says, "Well, the first one -- that's an easy one. There are two of them - Today and Tomorrow."
The saint's eyes open wide in surprise: "Forrest, that's not what I was thinking, but, well... I'll give you credit for that answer.
"How about the second question?"
"Now, that
one's harder," says Forrest, "but I'll guess the answer to be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? TWELVE? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
"Shucks, there's gotta be twelve," Forrest answers, "January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, and so on."
"Hold it" interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this,
but I'll have to give you credit for that one, too.
Let's go on to the final question, which is: "Can you tell me God's first name?"
"Sure,
that's easy! " Forrest replies, "It's Andy."
" Andy?" exclaims the exasperated and frustrated saint. "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 of 'Andy' as the first name of God?"
"Shucks," Forrest replies, "that was the easiest
one of all":
ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."
St. Peter opens the
Pearly Gates and says, quietly, "Run, Forrest, run!"
