One day, a teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer all die and
go to Heaven. St. Peter's there and was having a bad day since
heaven was getting crowded When they get to the gate, St. Peter
informed them that there will be a test to get into Heaven: they
each will have to answer a single question.
To the teacher, he says, "What was the name of the ship that
crashed into the Iceberg and sunk with all its passengers?"
The teacher thinks for a sec, and then replies:" That would have
been the Titanic, right?". St. Peter lets him through the gate.
St. Peter turns to the Garbage man, and, figuring that Heaven
doesn't REALLY need all the stink that this guy would bring into
heaven, decides to make the question a little harder: "How many
people died on the ship?"
The garbage man guesses: "1228" "That happens to be right;
go ahead."
St. Peter turns to the Lawyer: "Name them."
