5367 - Long joke Sunday

I was testing children in my Glasgow Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven.

I asked them, "If I sold my house and my

car, had a big estate sale, and gave all my

money to the church, would that get me

into heaven?"

"NO!" the children answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed

the garden and kept everything tidy, would

that get me into heaven?"

Again, the answer was 'No!'

By now I was starting to smile.

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and

gave sweets to all the children and

loved my husband, would that get me

into heaven?"

Again, they all answered 'No!'

I was just bursting with pride for them.

I continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?"

A six-year-old boy shouted,

"Ye got tae be fookin' dead".

Kinda brings a wee tear tae yir eye...
