Recently
a teacher, a garbage
collector, and a lawyer wound up together at the
Pearly Gates. St.
Peter informed them that in order to get into Heaven,
they would each
have to answer one question.
St. Peter addressed the teacher and
asked, "What was the name of the
ship that crashed into the
iceberg? They just made a movie about it."
The teacher answered
quickly, "That would be the Titanic." St. Peter
let him through the gate.
St. Peter turned to the garbage man and, figuring Heaven
didn't
*really* need all the odors that this guy would bring with him,
decided to
make the question a little harder: "How many people died
on the ship?"
Fortunately for him, the trash man had just seen
the movie. "1,228,"
he answered.
"That's right! You may
enter."
St. Peter turned to the lawyer. "Name them."

There once was a rich man who
was
near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for
his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he
began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with
him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him. "Sorry, but
you can't
take your wealth with you." The man implores the angel
to speak to God to
see if He might bend the rules.
The man
continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel
reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take
one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase
and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his
bed.
Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to
greet St. Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, "Hold on, you
can't
bring that in here!"
But, the man explains to St.
Peter that he has permission and asks him
to verify his story with
the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checks and
comes back saying,
"You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but
I'm supposed to
check its contents before letting it through."
St. Peter opens
the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man
found too
precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought
pavement?!!!"

Two Irish friends
greeted each
other while waiting their turn at the bank window. "This
reminds me of
Finnegan," remarked one.
"What about Finnegan?" inquired the
other.
"'Tis a story that Finnegan died, and when he greeted St.
Peter, he
said: 'It's a fine job you've had here for a long
time.' 'Well,
Finnegan,' said St. Peter, 'here we count a million
years as a minute
and a million dollars as a cent.' 'Ah!' said
Finnegan, 'I'm needing
cash. Lend me a cent.' 'Sure,' said St.
Peter, 'just wait a
minute.'"

St Peter is standing at heaven's gate
when a man walks
up.
"Welcome to heaven my son. What did you
do with your life?"
"I was a policeman," he
responded.
"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.
"I was a vice officer. I
kept dangerous narcotics out of the hands of
kids."
"Wonderful my son, welcome to heaven. Pass through the gates."
A few
moments later a second man walks up.
"Welcome to heaven my son.
What did you do with your life?"
"I was a policeman," he
responded.
"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.
"I was a
traffic officer. I kept the roads and highways safe for
travelers."
"Well done. Pass through the gates into paradise."
A few
moments later a third man walks up.
"Welcome to heaven my son. What
did you do with your life?"
"I was a policeman," he
responded.
"What kind of policeman?" St Peter asked.
"I was a
Military Policeman, Sir."
"Excellent my son, I have to leave
for a bit, watch the gate will
you?"

An accountant dies and
goes to
Heaven. He is met by St Peter who goes through the usual
questionnaire.
"What sort of accountant are you?" says St
Peter
"Public Practitioner," is the reply.
"Name?"
He gives his
name. St Peter goes through some files and pulls one out.
"Oh, yes.
We've been expecting you. You've reached your allotted
span,"
says St Peter.
"How can that be?" says the accountant. "I'm too
young to go. I'm
only forty-eight"
"No, that's impossible.
"
"Why do you say that?"
"Well we've been looking at your
time sheets and the hours you've
charged your clients. By our
reckoning you're at least ninety
three."
