Knowest Thy Holidays!

I got this in an e-mail and thought that it was funny.

A blonde and Easter.

Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.
The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell.
The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to Hell too.
The third blonde said that she knew what Easter was, and St. Peter said, "So, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder... St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."
St. Peter fainted.

oooh...sorry to be the stiff-shirt here...but that's not even remotely funny.I love blonde jokes(a big portion of my family are blondes)...but not jokes about Jesus.

It's not about Jesus, or St. Peter or religion.
It's about human stupidity and creativity. I love it!
Thanks for the laugh!

True it's basically poking fun at blondes.But it is still using the holiday that celebrates the death and resurection of Jesus as the whole idea for the joke.

I am a Christian, and I hold my faith very near and dear to me. It never even occured to me that this was anything other than a timely joke poking fun at blondes.(or scripturally challenged people!)
Rayanne, I forwarded this on to several friends of mine, including one of my ministers! Thanks!
