EASTER???

Someone sent this to me in an email and I thought it was funny.....

Three knuckleheads died in a car accident and landed in heaven together. God addressed the first one, "Before you are allowed to enter heaven you must answer a question. What can you tell me about Easter?"

The first one looked puzzled for a moment then said, "Oh, I know. That's the holiday in the fall when you pig out on Turkey and watch football games all day."

"Wrong!" said God and the first one disappeared in a puff of smoke. God turned to the second one and asked him about Easter.

"Isn't that the holiday in December when you get gifts and decorate a dead tree?"

"Wrong!" said God and the second one disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The last one looked nervous as God turned to him.

"What can you tell me about Easter?" God asked.

"Well that's the holiday that occurs in early spring. It begins on the day Jesus was hung on a cross between two criminals and made to wear a crown of thorns. He dies and they bury him in a cave and roll a rock over the entrance to seal it. On the third day, Jesus is supposed to rise from the dead. So they roll the stone away from the cave entrance and if Jesus pops his head out it means six more weeks of winter."
