British humor.

Three men from the Commonwealth 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 man from England 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 man from New Zealand 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 Australian started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?' The Aussie replied, 'These are Carols.'  And So The Christmas Season Begins......
