457 Years

A famous lawyer died and, unexpectedly, showed up at

the Pearly Gates. St. Peter came out to welcome him, and as

the Gates opened the lawyer saw a banner which welcomed him,

the first 457-year old man. The lawyer was confused. He said

to St. Peter, “I don’t understand. When I died, I was 63

years old, not 457.” St. Peter was now confused, and said,

“Why, you must be 457 years old! We added up all the hours

you billed your clients, so you’ve got to be 457!”
