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 pulled out a lighter.
He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said.

You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys.

He shook them and said, "They're bells".

Saint Peter said you may pass through the
pearly gates.

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and
finally pulled out a pair of women's soiled panties.

Saint Peter looked with a raised eyebrow and asked,
"And just what do those symbolize?"

The man replied, "They're Carol's."
