A New York Divorce Lawyer died and arrived at the pearly
gates. Saint Peter asks him "What have you done
to merit entrance into Heaven?"
The Lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago,
I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street." Saint
Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and
after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true.
Saint Peter said, "Well , that's fine, but it's not
really quite enough to get you into Heaven."
The Lawyer said, "Wait Wait! There's more! Three years
ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint
Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back,
affirming this, too, had been verified.
Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what
do you suggest we do with this fellow?"
Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to
Saint Peter, "Let's give him back his 50 cents and
tell him to go to Hell."
