Three guys die and are transported to the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter
greets them warmly, explaining that there's just one brief formality
before they can be admitted to heaven. Each will have to answer one
quick question. Turning to the first fellow, he asks, "What, please, is
Easter?"
  "That's and easy one. That's to celebrate when the pilgrims landed.
You buy a turkey and really stuff youselves--" 
  "I'm sorry," interrupts St. Peter. "You're out." Turning to the second
man, he asks, "What can you tell me about Easter?"
  "No problem," he replies, "To commemorate the birth of Jesus, you go
out shopping and get this tree and all these presents--"
  "Forget it," says St. Peter, turning in disgust to the third man.   
"I don't suppose you'd know anything about Easter?"
  "Certainly," he replies, "You see, Christ was crucified and he died,
and they took his body down from the cross and wrapped it in a shroud
and put it in a cave and rolled this big stone across the entrance--"
  "Wait a minute, wait a minute," interrupts St. Peter excitedly,
waving for the first two guys to come over, "We've got someone here
who knows his stuff!"
  "And after three days they roll the stone away," continues the third
guy, "and if he sees his shadow there's going to be six more weeks of
winter."
