From Huyen

Hello all,
Imagine 70 years from now... Chi Da Ua dies and goes to heaven. Cau Nam (St. Peter), the gate keeper, greets her with a hug:
- My "ut cung, ut quy". How good to see you again. Before I let anyone in, I must make sure they pass the test. Here's your test: How do you spell love?
- That's easy Daddy: L...o...v..e.
- Very good sweetheart. You pass the test. Come on in. (He opens the gate).
A few days later, anh Kiet shows up at the gate. Cau Nam said:
- Hello son. How are you? I have taught you so much when you were young. I hope you've learned everything. Here's your test: How do you spell...Czechoslovakia?
Anh Kiet:
- ??!!! I knew I was the black sheep, for sure! (He mumbles to himself).
Then the next day Huyen (me) comes to the gate. Cau Nam says:
- Since you've eaten the most food from me when I was down there, you need to answer 3 questions correctly before I let you in: 1) What are 2 days in the week that start with a "T"?
- Today and Tomorrow.
Cau Nam shakes his head in disbelief and continues:
- 2) How many seconds are in a year?
- Twelve.
- How do you come up with that?
- January 2nd, Feb. 2nd, Mar. 2nd,.., one a month for 12 months.
- You're incredible! I don't know what to say! But here's your third
question:
What is God the Father's name?
_ Harold.
_ What?
_ You don't know, cau Nam? In church, I hear everybody say the "Our Father"
like this: Our Father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name.
Cau Nam cracks up, knocks me on the head, and says:
_ You totally fail the test. But since you're such a goofball, you make me laugh, I'll let you in.
Cau Nam looks around to make sure no one is looking. Then he quietly opens the gate!
*****************
Hi all, I know most of you are depressed, stressed, and worn out. This is to lighten up your day a little. I know cau Nam would appreciate a laugh too.
