Erlkönig: nuns-heaven-exam.shtml>The way *I* heard it, it went something like this: > >Three nuns, lifelong friends all, are killed in an auto accident and go >to heaven together. > >When they arrive, the gates are padlocked and St. Peter advises them that >new regulations require an entrance exam and 1 piece of photo ID. The >sisters look decidedly un-amused and under their breath >politely mutter some complaints, whilst conferring among themselves about >this odd turn of >events. > >St Peter quickly apologizes and explains that while he is not authorized to >waive the exam, he can make it very easy, "One simple question each - just >a formality". He adds that based on personal aquaintance and the fact that >the women are in their habits, the ID requirement can be dropped. > >The ladies confer again and the eldest steps up forward. > >"I am ready" she says. > >"Very well", says St Peter. "This will be very easy, but I must advise, >there is NO recourse in the event of error, so take your time and be very, >very careful." He clears his throat and continues. "Your question is: 'Who >was the first man?' > >The nun immediately opens her mouth to answer, but St Peter stops her with >a raised hand. > >"Answer not in haste, " he admonishes, "eternity is a very long time." > >After much musing and fussing the woman finally blurts out "Adam!" > >The trumpets blare, the gates swing open, and in she strolls. The gates >clang shut behind her. > >"Very good" nods St Peter, obviously pleased. > >The next eldest nun steps up, thinking to herself 'Well that wasn't too >bad'. "I am ready", she declares > >St Peter speaks. "Remember you may answer only once. Your question is: 'Who >was the first woman'" > >The woman ponders only a few moments, and when she is certain there can be >no other answer, no two ways to interpret the question, she speaks boldly >and clearly: >"Eve" > >Again the trumpets blare, the gates swing open, and in she strolls. The >gates clang shut behind her. > >As the youngest nun steps up to St Peter, her sisters inside the gates are >giving her >encouraging smiles, winks and thumbs up. #3 steps foward confindently and >in a very calm, self-assured tone proclaims "I am ready" > >"Very well" replies St Peter. "You may reply but once, and your question >is: 'What were Eve's first words to Adam'?" > >The poor woman is stunned. Her jaw hangs open and she very nearly >drops her teeth. In complete shock, feeling cheated, and without thinking, >she blurts out: "God Damnit! That's a HARD one!!!" > >And the trumpets blare, and the gates swing open, and in she strolls. |
