FORREST GUMP

Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gate by St.
Peter himself. The gates are closed, however, and Forrest approaches the
gatekeeper. St. Peter says "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you.
We have heard so many good things about you. I must inform you that the
place is filling up fast, and we've been giving an entrance quiz for
everyone. The tests are short, but you need to pass before you can get into
Heaven.

Forrest responds "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter. I was looking
forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Sure hope the
test ain't too hard; Life was a big enough test as it was.

St. Peter goes on, "I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions:
1. What days of the week begin with the letter T? --
2. How many seconds are there in a year?
3. What is God's first name?"

Forrest goes away to think the questions over. He returns the next day and
goes up to St.. Peter to try to answer the exam questions.

St. Peter 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 how many days of 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 though, and I guess I didn't specify, so
I will give you credit for that answer." "How about the next one?" "How
many seconds in a year?"

"Now that one's harder" says Forrest, "but I thought and thought 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 "Aw, come on, St Peter, there's gotta be twelve, January second,
February second, March second. . "

"Hold it" interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with it. I guess I
see your point, though that wasn't quite what I had in mind, but I'll give
you credit for that one too. Let's go on with the next and final question.
Can you tell me God's first name?"

Forrest replied, "Andy."

When St. Peter asked how in the world he came up with the name Andy.

Forrest replied, "You know, St. Peter, that song we sing in church: "Andy
walks with me, Andy talks with me."

The lesson: THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW, and just because another
person doesn't see things the same way or understand the same way that you
do, does not mean that it's wrong.
