Three blondes died trying to bungee jump off the CN Tower. They meet St. Peter at
the pearly gates of heaven. They can enter the gates only if they can answer one
simple religious question.
The question posed by St. Peter is "What is Easter"?
The first blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when we
all get together, eat turkey and are thankful..."
"Wrong! I'm afraid you must go to the other place!" replies St. Peter. He turns
to the second blonde, and asks her the same question, "What is Easter?"
The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a
nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."
St. Peter looks at the second blonde in disgust and tells her she will have to
join her friend in the other place. He then peers over his glasses at the third
blonde and asks, "Do YOU know what Easter is?"
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "Yes, I know
what Easter is. Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish
celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and
Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The
Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown
of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands and feet. He was
buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
St. Peter smiled broadly with delight.
The third blonde continued... "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that
Jesus can come out and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of
winter."
A teenager walker into a drug store. After much hemming and hawing, he sheepishly
told the druggist that he wanted a box of condoms. "That will be $5.00", the
druggist said, "Plus tax."
"TACKS!!!" the boy exclaimed, "Don't you have the kind that stay on by
themselves?"
