"The Lawyer"

************************************

A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates.

************************************

To his dismay, there were thousands of people
ahead of him in line waiting to see St. Peter.

************************************

To his surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate
and came down the long line to where the lawyer was,
and greeted him warmly.
   

************************************

Then St. Peter and one of his assistants
took the lawyer to the front of the line.
 

************************************

The lawyer said,
"I don't mind all this attention,
but what makes me so special?"

************************************

St. Peter replied, 
"Well, I've added up all of the hours
for which you billed your clients,
and by my calculation"
 

************************************

"you must be at least 193 years old!"
