Forrest Gump Died And Went To Heaven
As Forrest approaches the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter greeted
him. “Ah, welcome, Mr. Gump. We’ve been anxiously
awaiting your arrival.” Forrest looked intently, not quite
sure what to make of the scene in front of him. “Forrest,
before I let you into Heaven, I need you to answer three
questions. Would that be alright?” Forrest nodded. “Ok,
Forrest, how many seconds are in a year?” Forrest thought
for a moment and confidently answered “twelve”. Saint
Peter was befuddled. “12?! You believe there are 12
seconds in a year?? Please explain.” Forrest replied.
“Well, there’s January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd,
Apr-“ Saint Peter interrupted Forrest, “ok, I suppose
you’re technically correct. That will do.” Forrest
cracked a smile. “Alright, Forrest, how many days of the
week begin with the letter ‘T’?” Forrest thought for a
moment, furrowed his brow a bit, and then replied
“four”. Saint Peter, again taken off guard, says to
Forrest, “4?! How on Earth do you get 4??” Forrest looks
Saint Peter in the eye and said, “well, you got Tuesday,
Thursday, Today, and Tomorrow.” Saint Peter nearly fell
over with incredulity. “Ok, I suppose that’s also
technically correct.” Forrest’s smile grew. “Ok,
Forrest, lastly, what is God’s real name?” Forrest
thought about the question, his brow wrinkled, a little bit
of sweat began to form on his forehead. Then, Forrest’s
eyes grew and he said, with booming authority, “Andy!
God’s real name is Andy!” Saint Peter slammed his hands
down onto the podium, “ANDY?! How, please tell me, did you
arrive at ANDY!?” Forrest looked Saint Peter dead in the
eye and said “Like the song says, ‘Andy walks with, Andy
talks with me-“ Saint Peter sheepishly looked at Forrest
and said “welcome to Heaven, Mr. Gump.”
