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.”
