Joke Corner
A Jamaican Rastaman dies and is on his way to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter
himself.
But the gates begin to close as Ras approaches the gatekeeper...
St. Peter said, 'Well, you seem to be in the wrong place as I don't seem to have you on my list, but as
there is such a crowd behind you and it would cause such a disruption I will give you an entrance
examination if you pass it I will let you in. OK
The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can
get into Heaven.
"Fair enough", said the dread, ""I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it
was" .
St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I know, but the test is only three questions. Here they are:
First:
What two days of the week begin with the letter T
'That one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow.'
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a
point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer.
Second:
How many seconds are there in a year asked St. Peter.
How many seconds in a year Now that one is harder,' replied Ras, 'but I think about that, and I guess
the only answer can be twelve’. Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve How in Heaven's name could you
come up with twelve seconds in a year'
Well it got to be twelve he replied:
January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd...
'Hold it,' interrupts St. Peter. 'I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was
not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too.
Third:
What is God's first name'
well 'Sure,' he replied, with a big grin.
'it's Andy!'
'Andy' exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
'I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the
world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God'
'Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,
When I used to go to church I would hear them sing
ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.'
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: 'Run, man, run!!!'

for the
The University of Technology, Jamaica Circle K, would like to
make mention of its Honorary Members. These members have
shown to be helpful, kind-hearted, and they do without having to
be asked. They have ensured that the club has its pictorial evidence
to populate the club’s bulletin. It is only fitting that these members
get the attention they so truly deserve. K Fam, help me to raise our
imaginary glasses to Utech’s Circle K Past Director of Inter-
Clubbing, Corey Davis, Past Bulletin Editor, Okieve Meikle and
Bulletin Editor, Shannon Samuda.
Congratulations! You have served us well.
