Here's the Forrest Gump story....

The day finally arrived: Forrest Gump dies and goes
to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St.
Peter himself.

However, the gates are closed and Forrest approaches
the Gatekeeper.

St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good
to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must
tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast,
and we've been administering an entrance examination
for everyone. The test is short, but you have to
pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It shor is good to be here St.
Peter, sir. But nobody ever tolt me about any
entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't too hard;
life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter goes on, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the
test is only three questions. First: What two days
of the week begin with the letter T?

Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He
returns the next day and sees St. Peter who waves
him up and says, "Now that you have had a chance to
think the questions over, tell me your answers."

Forrest says, "Well, the first one -- which two days
in the week begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that
one's easy.

That'd be Today and Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims,
"Forrest, that's not what I was thinking, but ....
you do have a point, and I guess I didn't specify,
so I'll give you credit for that answer. How about
the next one?" asks St. Peter.

"How many seconds in a year?" "Now that one's
harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk about
that and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve!?

Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with
twelve seconds in a year?" Forest says "Shucks,
there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd.

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're
going with this, and I see your point, though that
wasn't quite what I had in mind....

but I'll have to give you credit for that one, too.

Let's go on with the third and final question.

Can you tell me God's first name"?

"Sure" Forrest replied, "its Andy."

"Andy?!" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St.
Peter. "Ok, I can understand how you came up with
your answers to my first two questions, but just how
in the world did you come up with the name Andy as
the first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,"

Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song. . .
"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, . ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN. . . ."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said:

"Run Forrest Run"
