A New York
Lawyer Died
In honor of the New York
attorneys suing the gun industry because their local legislators are incapable
of dealing directly with criminals...
A New York 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."
