A lawyer dies and goes to the pearly gates. But, there were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. St. Peter seeing this lawyer, gets up, leaves the gate, walks to the end of the line where the lawyer is standing. St. Peter gives him a big hello. Then St. Peter and one of his angels took the lawyer by the hands and guided him to the front of the line into a soft chair by St. Peter's desk.

The lawyer asks, what makes me so special.

St. Peter - Well, I added up all the hours that you have billed your clients, and figure you must be at least 167.
