    Blondes Explain Easter
   
    Three blondes died in a car crashand found themselves at the
    Pearly Gates. St. Peter tells themthat they can enter the
    gates only if they can answer onesimple religious question.
    The question posed by St. Peter is"What is Easter?"
   
    The first blonde replied, "Oh,that's easy! It's the holiday in
    November when we all get together,eat turkey and are thankful..."
   
    "Wrong! You are not welcomehere. I'm afraid you must go to the
    other place!" replied St.Peter.
    He turned to the second blonde andasked her the same question,
    "What is Easter?"
   
    The second blonde replied,"Easter is the holiday in December when
   we put up a pine tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth
    of Jesus."
   
    St. Peter looked at the secondblonde, banged his head against the
    pearly gates in disgust and told hershe was wrong and would have
    to join her friend in the otherplace.
    He then peered over his glasses atthe third blonde and asked,
    "Do YOU know what Easteris?"
   
    The third blonde smiled confidentlyand looked St. Peter in the
    eyes, "I know what Easteris."
   
    "Oh?" said St. Peter,incredulously.
   
    "Easter is the Christianholiday that coincides with
    the Jewish celebration of Passover.Jesus and his disciples
    were eating at the last supper andJesus was later deceived
    and turned over to the Romans by oneof the disciples. The Romans
    took him to be crucified and he wasstabbed in the side, made to
    wear a crown of thorns, and was hungon a cross with nails through
    his hands and feet. He was buried ina nearby cave which was sealed
    off by a large boulder."
   
    St. Peter smiled broadly withdelight.
   
    The third blonde continued..."Every year the boulder is moved
    aside so that Jesus can come outand, if he sees his shadow,
    there will be six more weeks ofwinter."
