Blondes in Heaven

 

 
 
Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He informed them that reciting the meaning of Easter was a prerequisite for entering heaven.

The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."  "Noooooo," St. Peter said, and he expelled her.

The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Sorry," and he expelled her, too.

The third blonde said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover.  Jesus was having Passover feast with his disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him.  The Romans crucified him and eventually he died.  Then they buried him in a tomb behind a very large boulder."

"Very good!" exclaimed St. Peter, "do continue."

The blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out.  If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."

St. Peter fainted.
