THREE
BLONDES
Three
blondes died and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer
one simple question. St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday
in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful and stuff..." "Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds
to ask the second blonde 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 drink eggnog." St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in
disgust, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?" The third
blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is." "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously. "Easter
is the Christian holiday, that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the
last supper. Then 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. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. Then the third blonde continues, "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."
THREE FOOLS
Three
fools died and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one
simple question. St. Peter asks the first fool, "What is Easter?" He replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November
when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful..." "Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second
fool the same question, "What is Easter?" The second one 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 fool, shakes his head in disgust,
tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third fool and asks, "What is Easter?" The third fool smiles
confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is." "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously. "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. He was
buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder." St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. Then he continues,
"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."
(This is an old groaner.)
A
man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved
to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying
all over the place. Candy, too. The driver, being a sensitive man
as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the Bunny carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful Bunny was dead. The driver felt guilty and began to cry.
A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of
the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man
what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained, "I
accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it. What should I do?" The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to
do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled
out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed
the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal. Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up,
picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw
at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50 yards away the
Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road
another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and waved again!!!! The man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven's
name is in your spray can?" The woman turned the
can around so that the man could read the label. It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."
