time for some more lawyer jokes
A lawyer dies on his 40th birthday & finds himself at
the Pearly Gates (A lawyer in HEAVEN(!))
In Heaven:
A brass band is playing, the angels are singing a
beautiful hymn, there is a huge crowd cheering and shouting his name and
absolutely everyone wants to shake his hand. Just when he thinks things
can't possibly get any better, Saint Peter himself runs over, apologizes
for not greeting him personally at the pearly gates, shakes his hand and
says, "Congratulations son, we've been waiting a long time for you!"
Totally confused and a little embarrassed, the attorney sheepishly looks
at Saint Peter and says, "Saint Peter, I tried to lead a God fearing
life, I loved my family, I tried to obey the 10 Commandments, but
congratulations for what? I honestly don't remember doing anything really
special when I was alive." "Congratulations for what?!" exclaims Saint
Peter, totally amazed at the man's modesty. "We're celebrating the fact
that you lived to be 160 years old! God himself wants to see you!" The
lawyer is awestruck and can only look at Saint Peter with his mouth
agape. When he regains his power of speech, he looks up at Saint Peter
and says, "Saint Peter, I lived my life in the eternal hope that when I
died I would be judged by God and be found to be worthy, but I only lived
to be forty." "That's simply impossible son," says Saint Peter. "We've
added up your time sheets." |
