Forest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. Met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. The gates close and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. Saint Peter says to Forrest, "We have certainly heard a great deal about you. The place is filling up fast and you must complete an entrance examination prior to admittance to Heaven." "The tests are fairly short, but you must pass." "Shore is good to be here, I was looking forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exams. Sure hope it ain't hard; life was a big enough test as it was." Saint Peter goes on, "The test I have for you is only three questions. First, what days of the week begin with the letter 'T'? Second, how many seconds are there in a year? And third, what is God's first name?" Forest ponders the questions. "Well, the first one, how many days of 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 give you credit for that answer." "Now the second ones harder", says Forrest. "But I thunk and thunk about it and I guess the only answer can be twelve." "Twelve"? "how in Heaven's name can you come up with twelve seconds in a year?" "Shucks," there's gotta be twelve: January second, February second, March second...." "Hold it," interrupts, St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this and I guess I'll have to give you credit for that one too." "What's Gods first name?" St. Peter asked? EVERYBODY probably knows it. It's Howard." "Howard? asks St. Peter, "What makes you think God's first name is Howard? "The prayer, it's in the prayer" responds Forrest. "Which prayer?" asks St. Peter, "Which prayer?" "The Lord's Prayer," "Our Father, who art in heaven, Howard be thy name...." PSN
