Geraldine Granger:
So three nuns get killed in a car crash.

Alice Tinker:
Oh, dear.

Geraldine Granger:
Yes, and they get up to heaven.

Alice Tinker:
Of course.

Geraldine Granger:
And Peter's at the gate and he says, "I'm afraid you're going to have to answer a question before you can come in."

Alice Tinker:
Oh!

Geraldine Granger:
So he says to the first one, "Don't worry the questions are very easy. What was the name of the first woman?" And she says, "Eve," and he says, "Yep, you're in." And he says to the second one, "Where did Eve live?"

Alice Tinker:
Oh yes, I know this.

Geraldine Granger:
Yeah, yeah yeah. And she says,

Geraldine Granger, Alice Tinker:
"Garden of Eden."

Geraldine Granger:
And he says, "Yep, you're in."

Alice Tinker:
Phew.

Geraldine Granger:
And he says to the third one, which was the mother superior, "I'm afraid the question is going to have to be a little bit more tricky for you."

Alice Tinker:
Well, fair enough 'cause...

Geraldine Granger:
Yeah, obviously. And he says to her, "What did Eve say when she first saw Adam?" And the mother superior says, "Oh, that's a hard one." And he says, "Yup, you're in." [Geraldine starts laughing]

Alice Tinker:
[long pause] Well, she hadn't answered the question.

Geraldine Granger:
Pardon?

Alice Tinker:
She hadn't answered the question.

Geraldine Granger:
How do you mean?

Alice Tinker:
He let her in and she didn't know what the answer was.

Geraldine Granger:
Yeah, it just doesn't work, does it, as a joke.

Alice Tinker:
Yes, just that end bit you could jig.

Geraldine Granger:
Yeah, well, I'm going to send it back anyway. Stupid, that one.
