Festive season joke

[Galilee66]

Three men (an Englishman, and American and an Aussie) died on the same night and found themselves standing in front of the Pearly Gates in a queue of three! Suddenly St Peter appeared and called for their attention. "You will have noticed that you are in a very small queue," said St P. "That long queue over there is going straight into Heaven as they are all Bet Angel traders, and accordingly, we know that the are decent, honest people of good humour, always willing to assist other traders. Of course, they have also been through Hell just learning to trade. Naturally, they have qualified for immediate entry into Heaven."

"The other very long queue" he continued, "Consists of politicians, bankers, tax inspectors and other undesirables and is headed for the Down lift to the eternal fires."

"However", St P continued, "You have just failed by about .00001% to qualify for immediate entry, and therefore, you are required to return to Earth for 24 hours and bring back something that is associated with Christmas."

On hearing that, they all disappeared. Within 10 minutes, the American returned clutching a piece of holly. "Well", said St Peter. "That is certainly associated with Christmas. You can enter."

After a few more minutes the Englishman arrived back brandishing a piece of mistletoe. "There's no doubt that's associated with Christmas. You can also enter." said St P.


With only 4 minutes to go before the 24 hours was up, the Aussie returned and placed a pair of knickers on St Peter's desk.

"What's the meaning of this?" asked St P. "You were required to bring back something associated with Christmas."

"I have." responded the Aussie. "These are Carol's"

Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year from Melbourne. Hope you all trade well on the Boxing Day test.
