Forest Gump goes to heaven

> > St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I

> > Second:
> > How many seconds are there in a year?

> > Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow.'
> > The Saint's eyes opened wide and

> > Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve?
> > Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds

> > Forrest replied, 'Shucks, there's

> > 'Hold it,' interrupts St.

> > Can you tell me God's first name'?
> > 'Sure,' Forrest replied,
> > 'it's Andy.'
> > 'Andy?' exclaimed an exasperated

> > 'Ok, I can understand how you

> > 'Shucks, that was the easiest
