The Pearly Gates
« on: October 15, 2008, 02:22:59 PM »
40 Gypsies arrive at the Pearly Gates in their Transit vans and caravans.

St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones up God, saying. 'I've got 40 travellers here. Can I let them in?'

God says 'We are over quota on Pikeys . Go out and tell them to choose between them which are the 12 most worthy, and I will let just the dozen
in.'

Less than a minute later St Peter is on the phone to God again. 'They've gone!', he tells God.

'What?' says God, 'All 40 of them?'

'No, the gates'.

"Pearly" Gates

Played by Peter Sellers in the "Wrong Arm of the Law" in 1962. Good film.

Indeed it is Lionel Jeffries ~ a character actor of some repute who specialised in playing opinionated, mistake prone, buffoons, forever spouting nonsense whilst believing that the world was conspiring against them.

"Screen on-line" describes him thus: "An expert purveyor of knuckle-headed choler"
