Huck Finn, a truly perceptive gentleman from the snow-blanketed midwest, sent
this one, describing it as the First Christmas Joke...

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

"In honor of this most Holy Season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something
that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."

The man from England fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked
it on. "It represents a candle," he said.

"You may pass through the pearly gates." Saint Peter said.

The man from Scotland reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook
them and said, "They're bells."

Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."

The Irishman started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out
a pair of women's pant!es.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those
symbolize?"

Paddy replied, "These are Carols."

And So The Christmas Season Begins...
