This joke was told to me by my 86 year old grandmother. A very sweet, Christian lady.
Three women, for reasons unknown, decided to sail across the ocean in a lifeboat. They were soon capsized and drowned.
Arriving at the pearly gates of Heaven, they were stopped by Saint Peter. He told them that in order to enter Heaven, they must each answer one question. As evidenced by their trip, these ladies were not very bright, and they became very nervous. Peter turned to the first woman and asked,
"Who did God command to build an ark?"
"Noah, of course!" she yelled, jumping up and down with joy.
Peter stood aside and let her enter. He then turned to the second woman.
"Who was thrown into the lion's den?"
"Daniel!" She cried out happily. "That was easy!"
Peter stood aside and told the second woman to enter Heaven. He then turned to the third woman.
"What was the first thing that Eve said to Adam?"
The woman was shocked and upset by the question, and stuttered out,
"That's a hard one!"
Peter nodded and stood aside, letting the woman enter Heaven.
