Blondes in Heaven
Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St. Peter
tells
them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple
question.
St. Peter asks the first blonde, 'What is Easter?'
The blonde replies, 'Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when
everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful...'
'Wrong!,' replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the
same
question, 'What is Easter?'
The second blonde replies, 'Easter is the holiday in December when we
put up
a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus.'
St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust, tells
her
she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and
asks,
'What is Easter?'
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, 'I
know
what Easter is.'
'Oh?' says St. Peter, incredulously.
'Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish
celebration
of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and
Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his
disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the
side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails
through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off
by a
large boulder.'
St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.
The third blonde continues, 'Every year the boulder is moved aside so
that
Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more
weeks of winter.'
