Disc Jockeys in Heaven

Three disc jockeys passed away simultaneously and found them selves at the pearly gates of Heaven.

St. Peter tells them that they can enter if they can answer one simple question.

St. Peter asks the first DJ, "What is Easter?"

The DJ replies, "Oh, that’s easy! It’s the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful..."

"Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and turns to the second DJ and asks the same question, "What is Easter?"

The second DJ replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and Santa comes and..."

St. Peter stares at the second DJ, shakes his head in disgust, tells him he’s wrong. He peers hopefully over his glasses at the third disc jockey and asks his question again, "What is Easter?"

The third DJ smiles confidently, looks St. Peter in the eye ands says, "I know what Easter is."

"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously. "Pray tell...what is it?"

"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. "At last!"

The third disc jockey continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter."
