A teacher, a petty thief, and a lawyer die and go to heaven…
When they arrive at the pearly gates, they are met by St. Peter.
St. Peter says, “Sorry, heaven’s crowding up, so you will need to answer a question correctly to get in.”
He looks at the teacher, and asks, “What was the name of the famous ocean liner that sank after hitting an iceberg?”
“Oh, that’s easy,” replies the teacher, “the Titanic.”
So, St. Peter opens the gates and lets the teacher enter into heaven.
Next, St. Peter turns to the petty thief…
Deciding to make his question a bit more difficult, he asks, “How many people died on the Titanic?”
“Oh,” says the thief excitedly, “I just saw the movie… “
“It was about 1,500 I think.”
St. Peter opens the gates, and the thief enters into heaven.
Finally, St. Peter turns to the lawyer and says, “So, 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank… “
“Name them.”
