The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at
the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself.
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."
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."
I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
One: 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?"
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 it.
Twelve.
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve?
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February
2nd, March 2nd... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. 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?"
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."
