A unethical attorney dies and is waiting to get into heaven. He is standing behind a few other people.

Ludwig von Beethoven is first.

St.Peter says: "Who are you?"

Beethoven says: "Eh ?"

St.Peter waves his arms and cures Beethoven and says : "Who are you ?"

Beethoven says: "Ludwig von Beethoven"

St.Peter says: "Do you have any papers?"

Beethoven says: "No."

St.Peter says: "Then you will have to prove it."

Beethoven says: "Give me a choir of angels."

St.Peter calls the angels forward and watches Beethoven conduct the Ninth.

St.Peter smiles and says: "Wonderful. Welcome, Ludwig."

Beethoven goes in.

The next man steps forward.

St.Peter says: "Who are you ?"

Shakespeare says: "William Shakespeare"

St.Peter says: "Do you have any papers ?

Shakespeare says: "No."

St.Peter says: "Then you will have to prove it."

Shakespeare says: "Give me a pen and paper."

St.Peter does and watches Shakespeare write a new sonnet.

St.Peter smiles and says: "Wonderful. Welcome, William."

Finally it is the attorney's turn.

St.Peter says: "Who are you ?"

The attorney says: "I'm an attorney. I just did my job, equal rights for everyone I worked for, no matter if they were guilty or innocent, I tried to get them off. I did whatever any client paid me to do."

St.Peter says: "Can you support your claim with documents?

The attorney says: "No."

St.Peter says: "Then you will have to prove it, just like Beethoven and Shakespeare."

The attorney says: "Beethoven? Shakespeare? Who are they ?"

St.Peter says: "Wonderful! Wait right over there."
