Bedlam Humour 
 
Ed Goldstraw sent this joke: 
 
An Aussie 
Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her 
at the Pearly Gates.'I'm 
sorry, 'St Peter said; 'But Heaven is suffering from an overload of godly 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 the Blonde, 'What does the Entrance Exam consist 
of?' 
'Just 
three questions' said St Peter. 
'Which 
are?' asked the Blonde. 
'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 the 
Blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought.The 
following morning, St Peter called upon the Blonde and asked if she had 
considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.' 
'Well 
then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter 
T?' 
The 
Blonde 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, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions' St Peter 
went on, 'how many seconds in a year?' 
The 
Blonde replied, 'Twelve!' 
'Only 
twelve' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that 
figure?' 
'Easy,' 
said the Blonde, '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 the Blonde 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 the Blonde. 'I'll allow the answer to stand, 
but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be 
allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman 
in Waltzing Matilda?' 
The 
blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to 
answer.' 
'Really!' 
exclaimed St Peter, 'And what is the answer?' 
 
 
'Yes, 
Andy,' said the Blonde. 
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 the 
blonde, asked 'How in God's name did you arrive at THAT 
answer?' 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
'Easy' 
said the Blonde, 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till his billy 
boiled.' 
And the 
Blonde entered Heaven...? For your next Kindle book, why not try a short story collection
