| Christmas at the Pearly Gates It was Christmas Eve and three recently deceased men arrived at the Pearly Gates to stand before St Peter.
He delivered the usual briefing and then added that, because of the time of year, he would require them to each show him a symbol of the season.
The first man went through his pockets and all he could find was a cigarette lighter, holding it out in front of him he flicked it on and said "look St Peter, a Christmas candle".
St Peter nodded quietly and said "come in" and swung the gates open.
The next man frantically scrabbled in his pockets, but could only find his car keys, pulling them out he jingled them as he said "Here, I have Christmas bells"
St Peter smiled, opened the gates and beckoned him on.
The third man reached in to his pocket and pulled out a pair of frilly lace ladies knickers. St Peter raised an eyebrow and said-"What do those have to do with Christmas may I ask?"
The man looked up at him and said
"They're Carols!" |
