Again the answer was “No!”

“Well”, she continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”

“Shall I giftwrap the bat?” the clerk asked sweetly. “Or are you going back there?”

“Today and tomorrow.”

The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
