With the omission of a single - unprintable and rather teenage - word,
this is acceptable for chat, and funny. For the sticklers, I'll replace
the omitted word with [...] :)
From: D.C.
I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they
understood the concept of getting to heaven.
I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage 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 yard, and kept everything
neat
and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"
Again, the answer was, "NO!"
By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the
children,
and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them
again.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
I was just bursting with pride for them. Well, I continued, "then how
can I get into Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE [... ing] DEAD"
