(A true Story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher)

I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class,
to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.

I asked them, 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 children answered.

'If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything
tidy, would that get me into heaven?'

Again, the answer was 'NO!'

'If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get
me into heaven?'

Again, they all answered 'NO!'

I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued, 'Then how can I get into heaven?'

A little boy shouted out: 'YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD.'

It's a curious race, the Irish. Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?
