Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates

by St. himself. The gates are closed, however, and Forrest

approaches the gatekeeper. St. says " Well, Forrest, it's

certainly good to see you. We have heard so many good things about you. I must

inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we've

been giving an entrance quiz for everyone.The tests are short, but

you need to pass before you can get into Heaven.

Forrest responds " It sure is good to be here, St. . I was looking forward

to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Sure hope the test ain't

too hard; Life was a big enough test as it was. St. goes on, " I know,

Forrest, but the test is only three questions:

> -- What days of the week begin with the letter T?

> -- How many seconds are there in a year?

> -- What is God's first name? "

>

Forrest goes away to think the questions over. He returns the next day and goes

up to St.. to try to answer the exam questions.

St. waves him up and says " Now that you have had a chance to

think the questions over, tell me your answers " .

Forrest says, " 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 though, and I guess I didn't specify, so I

will give you credit for that answer. " " How about the next one? " " How many

seconds in a year? "

" Now that one's harder " says Forrest, " but I thought and thought about that and

I guess the only answer can be twelve. "

Astounded, St. says " Twelve! Twelve! Forrest, how in Heaven's

name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year? "

Forest says " Aw, come on, St , there's gotta be twelve,: January second,

February second, March second. . . "

" Hold it " interrupts St. . " I see where you're going with it.

I guess I see your point, though that wasn't quite what I had in mind, but I'll

give you credit for that one too. Let's go on with the next and final question.

Can you tell me God's first name? "

Forrest replied, " Andy. "

When St. asked how in the world he came up with the name Andy,

Forrest replied, " You know, St. , that song we sing in church:

" Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me. "

The lesson: THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW, and just because

another person doesn't see things the same way or understand the same

way that you do, does not mean that it's wrong...
