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.“
