Friday humor: St. Peter at the gate joke

[mac56]

St. Peter's at the Pearly Gates with a long line of new applicants to check in. It's near Christmas, he's in the spirit, so decides it's time to try something new.

He announces to the people in line: "Ladies and gentlemen, since it's almost Christmas, I have a task for each of you before you get admitted. One by one, you must reach into your pocket, pull out the first thing you find, and use it to demonstrate something Christmasy."

A rumble of muttering goes up and down the line. But the first fellow in line walks up to the gate, puts his hand in his pocket, and pulls out a cigarette lighter. He holds it aloft, lights it, and says, "Look! A Christmas candle."

"Very good!" says St. Peter. "Go right on in. Next, please."

The second fellow in line walks up to the gate, puts his hand in his pocket, and pulls out a set of car keys. He holds them at arm's length, shakes them, and says, "Listen! They're jingle bells."

"Very nice!" says St. Peter. "Go right on in. Next, please."

The third fellow in line walks up to the gate, puts his hand in his pocket, and pulls out a pair of ladies' panties. St. Peter takes a long look at them, then at him, and asks, "So what's Christmasy about those?"

The fellow smiles and says, "They're Carol's."
