A supposedly true story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher.
Here goes:
I was testing children in Dublin to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven.
I asked:" If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?"
" NO" the kids answered.............................( sideline: However the parish priest would be doing cartwheels..)
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the lawn and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?"
"NO" came back from the kids.
" If I gave candy to all the children and be the best wife to my husband, would that get me into heaven?"
Again the answer came back "NO"..........................( sideline: There would be a very happy man, that husband.)
I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued:" Then how can I get into heaven?"
A little boy shouted: ' YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD !!!
It's a curious race, the Irish.
