Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honour of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and quickly pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on and said, "It represents a candle". "That's very good, you may pass through the pearly gates", Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and soon pulled out a bunch of keys. He shook them vigorously and said, "They represent the sound of bells". Saint Peter said, "OK, you may pass through the pearly gates".
The third man, sweating profusely, started searching desperately through his pockets and, with a somewhat sheepish look on his face, finally pulled out a pair of women's panties which he handed over to St. Peter.
St. Peter looked at the panties and, with a raised eyebrow, asked the man, "and, pray tell me, just what are these meant to symbolize?"
The man replied, (scroll down for the punch line) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . keep going... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "They're Carols".
