A teacher asked his class of young students, "If I smile at everyone night and day, will that get me into heaven?"
Members of the class gave a cacaphonic, "No!"
"If I give candy and presents to every child I meet, will that get me into heaven?"
"No!" the class responded.
"If I love my wife and children with all my heart and do all sorts of chores at home, will that get me into heaven?"
Again the entire class replied, "No!"
"Well," the teacher finally asked, "would one of you please tell me how I can get into heaven?
A young boy at the back of the class blurted out, "You have to be dead!"
