minutes they were met by Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each
possess something that symbolizes Christmas in order to enter Heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle.", he said.
"You may pass through the Pearly Gates.", Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "Listen they sound like bells".
Saint Peter said, "You too may pass through into Heaven."
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "They're Carol's."
