• Forrest Gump In Heaven

    From Daryl Stout@316:36/20 to All on Tue Mar 30 00:05:39 2021
    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, it'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 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, and 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 gotta be twelve: January 2nd,
    February 2nd, March 2nd. . ...." "Hold it, " interrupts St. Peter. "I see 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!"
