Recently a teacher, a garbage collector,
and a lawyer wound up together at the
Pearly Gates. St. Peter informed them
that in order to get into Heaven, they
would each have to answer one question.
St. Peter addressed the teacher and
asked, "What was the name of the ship
that crashed into the iceberg? They
just made a movie about it."
The teacher answered quickly, "That
would be the Titanic." St. Peter let
him through the gate.
St. Peter turned to the garbage man
and, figuring Heaven didn't *really*
need all the odors that this guy
would bring with him, decided to make
the question a little harder: "How
many people died on the ship?"
Fortunately for him, the trash man
had just seen the movie. "1,228,"
he answered.
"That's right! You may enter."
St. Peter then turned his head to
the lawyer, saying: "Name them."
