HOW DO YOU GET INTO HEAVEN?

I was testing the children in my Newfoundland 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 yard, and kept everything
>neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?'
Again, the answer was, 'NO!'

By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!
'Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children,
and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?' I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, 'NO!'

I was just bursting with pride for them. Well, I continued,
'then how can I get into Heaven?'

A six-year-old Newfie boy shouted out,
'YOU GOTTA BE FUCKIN' DEAD.
