Heaven's gate

Three men being interviewed at the gates of Heaven:

Gatekeeper: "If you answer my question correctly, you will gain entrance to Heaven: What is the name of the Christian prophet?"

First man: "Jesus!" And he enters Heaven.

Gatekeeper: "What is the name of Islam's holy book?"

Second man: "The Qoran!" And he enters Heaven.

The third man was very excited. He felt he too would soon enter Heaven.

Gatekeeper: "Was is the square root of 425,920 times 6.3?"

Third man: "Khaar kosseh maskhareh kardi maaro! Khob az aval begoo jaa neest deegeh !" ("Hey asshole! Why don't you just say there's no vacancy?")
