[at-l] And now....a joke

[kahley7 <kahley7@ptd.net>]

A section hiker, a thruhiker and a dirty dog yellow-blazer were
hiking southbound thru PA.  To fight the boredom and the foot
pain, they were deep in a conversation on life, love and mac&cheese.
They came upon what is one of the most dangerous road crossings
on the Trail, RT225 which is perched atop the ridge at a hairpin
curve making it hard to see or even hear the oncoming traffic.

All three were killed by a Mt Dew truck.

They approached the pearly gates where St. Peter waited.

"Howdy hikers" he said. "All ya have to do to pass these gates is answer

one question.  "Who's first?"

Well the section hiker stepped up and since St. Peter had a soft spot in

his
heart for section hikers, (since they have such a hard row to hoe) he
decided
to make his an easy question.

"Recently, there was a movie about a ship disaster...what was the name
of
the ship?"

The section hiker was so glad he new the answer that he fairly shouted
"TITANIC!!!"

ST Pete grinned and said "OK, hiker, go on in"

Next up was the thru hiker who in true thru manner, smelled like an old
goat.
Now St Pete had mixed feelings about letting someone into heaven that
smelled
like and old goat so he decided to make the question a little harder.

"How many people died in that shipwreck"

Luckily for him, the thru hiker had seen the movie and said "About 1500"

"Pass thru those gates, hiker" St Peter said.

Finally it was the dirty dog yellow blazer's turn and St Peter asked had

a special
question all ready.

"Name them"



The above was just a joke and my apologies to any YBers who took
offense.
Hike your own hike...but becareful crossing streets <g>.
