Forest Gump at the Pearly Gates

[Dot]

Something cheerful to start the week OH! YEH! I LIKE THE WAY HE THINKS!









Forest Gump was sent on his way to Heaven.



Upon his arrival, a concerned St Peter met Forrest at the Pearly Gates.



"I'm sorry Forest" St Peter said; "But Heaven is suffering from an

overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance

Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals".



"That's Cool" said Forest, "What does the Entrance Exam consist of?"



"3 Questions" said St Peter.



"Which are?" asked Forest.



The First said St Peter, " Is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?



The second is: How many seconds are there in a year? the third is: What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?"



"Now" said St Peter, "Go away and think about those questions and when I

call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me."



So Forest went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought.



The following morning, St Peter called upon Forest and asked if he had considered the questions, to which Forest replied, "I have."



"Well then, "said St Peter, "Which two days of the week start with the letter T?"

Forest said, " Today . . and Tomorrow."



St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question.



"Well then Forrest, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?" St Peter went on, " How many seconds in a year?"



Forest replied, "Just 12!"



"Only 12?" exclaimed St Peter, "How did you arrive at that figure Forrest?"



"Easy" said Forest. "There's the second of January, the second of February

right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds."



St Peter looked at Forest and said, "I need some time to consider your

answer before I can give you a decision." And he walked away shaking his head.



A short time later St Peter returned to Forest. "I'll allow the answer

to stand Forest, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely

correct to be allowed into Heaven."



"Now Forest, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?"

Forest replied: "Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer."



"Really!" exclaimed St Peter, "And what is the answer, Forest?"



"It's Andy."





"Andy??"



"Yes, Andy" said Forest.



This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any

longer, and turning to Forest, asked "Forest, how in God's name did you arrive at THAT answer?"



"Easy" said Forest . . "Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till his billy

boiled ."







And Forest entered Heaven..
