Click here to read more… * Another little joke Here is another joke from a series that will tickle your ribs (in case you missed it on our Facebook wall): An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?' The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!'
