How to get to heaven from Ireland

(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, tended 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, but it does bring a tear to the
eye, doesn't it?
