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...?
