A new York Divorce 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.
