There were three nuns driving down a highway one day when they lost
control of their car and plunged off a cliff.
They awoke and found themselves standing before the pearly gates. St.
Peter walked toward them and, after greeting them, told them that they
would have to answer one question each before they were admitted to
the kingdom of heaven.
This made the nuns very nervous. They had never heard of this
requirement before. Finally, one nun stepped forward and said, "St.
Peter, I'm ready for my question."
St. Peter replied, "Your question is: Who was the first man on earth?"
The nun breathed a huge sigh of relief, and said, "Why, it was Adam."
(And the lights flashed, the bells tolled, and the gates of heaven
opened.)
This was a cause of great relief to the remaining nuns. The second
stepped forward without hesitation.
St. Peter said, "And you must tell me who the first woman on earth
was."
Another great sigh of relief, "Eve" the nun replied. (And the lights
flashed, the bells tolled, and the gates of heaven opened.)
The third was brimming with excitement. "I'm ready St. Peter!"
St. Peter said, "All right, what was the first thing Eve said to
Adam?"
The nun was shocked. "My goodness, that's a hard one."
(And the lights flashed, the bells tolled, and the gates of heaven
opened.)
