New Yorker Cartoon: Bone Up On Your Pearly Gates Interview

***

Three nuns driving down a highway one day when they lost control of their car and plunged off a cliff.

They awoke and found themselves standing before the pearly gates.

St. Peter walked toward them and, after greeting them, told them they would have to answer one question each before they were admitted to the kingdom of heaven.

This made the nuns very nervous as they had never heard of this requirement before.

Finally, one nun stepped forward and said, "St. Peter, I'm ready for my question."

St. Peter replied, "Your question is: Who was the first man on earth?"

The nun breathed a huge sigh of relief, and said, "Why, it was Adam."

Lights flashed, bells tolled, and the gates of heaven swung wide!

This was a cause of great relief to the remaining nuns.

Without hesitation, the second stepped forward and without delay, St. Peter asked, "Who was the first woman on earth?"

Another great sigh of relief!  "Eve" the nun replied.

Lights flashed, bells tolled, and the gates of heaven swung wide!

The third nun, now brimming with excitement, called out, "I'm ready St. Peter!"

St. Peter said, "All right, what was the first thing Eve said to Adam?"

The nun was clueless.

"Dear God," she thought, "I can't believe I've lost my soul!"

She thought.

And she thought some more.

 "My goodness, that's a hard one," she mumbled.

Lights flashed, bells tolled, and the gates of heaven swung wide!
