St. Peter And The Train

Here are our two funny stories for this week to usher us into the weekend.

Three people from different parts of the country passed away at the same time. All were met at the gates by St. Peter. The first was an architect from California. Peter said, “You’ve built beautiful buildings and served men on earth, but before you come in you have to pass one small test, spell ‘God'”.

“G-O-D,” replied the architect and St. Peter waved him through.

The second person to approach was a rancher from Texas. Peter looked at him and said, “You’ve served man upon the earth by providing food through the cattle you’ve raised but before you come in there’s just one small test, spell ‘GOD'”.

“G-O-D”, said the rancher and Peter waved him through.

The third person was an attractive businesswoman from New York. Peter said, “You’ve served the world of commerce, but before you come in you’ll have to pass one small test.”

At this the woman interrupted, “Oh come on now Saint,” said the woman, “I’ve had to fight for every promotion I’ve ever gotten.  I’ve had to take lower pay for the same job as a male colleague, and I’ve been continually harassed by bosses and peers for one reason, my gender. And now here I am and you’re giving me a hard time too; what kind of test? Let’s get it over with.”

Peter thought for a moment and said, “Spell Czechoslovakia”

The story is told of four people who shared a berth in a train going from Paris to Madrid: a beautiful young woman traveling with her grandmother, and a young army lieutenant who was with his commanding officer.

On the way the train passed through a tunnel, and the train became pitch black.

Suddenly, in the darkness there was a sound of a kiss followed by a slap.  When the train emerged from the tunnel, the four sat stone faced as if nothing had happened.

The beautiful young woman thought to herself, “That was a wonderful kiss, but my grandmother must have slapped his face and he probably thinks I did it and he won’t pay attention to me again.”

The grandmother thinks, “That’s a fresh thing for that man to kiss my granddaughter.  I’m sure glad she stood up for herself, I’m sure it will teach him a lesson.”

The commanding officer thought, “This is terrible, she must have thought that I was the one who kissed her, wait until I get back to the base, I’m really going to give my lieutenant a piece of my mind.”

And the young lieutenant thought, “This was my day. I got to kiss a beautiful woman and slap my boss and get away with both.”
