English Original
Joe, a lawyer, died suddenly at the age of 45.
He arrived at the gates of Heaven, where an angel greeted him, "We've been waiting a long time for you."
"What do you mean?" Joe replied. "I'm only 45, in the prime of my life. Why did I have to die now?"
"Forty-five? You're not 45; you're 82," the angel countered.
"Wait a minute. If you think I'm 82, you have the wrong person. I'm only 45. I can show you my birth certificate."
"Hold on. Let me go check," said the angel, disappearing inside.
After a few minutes, the angel returned.
"Sorry, but according to our records, you are 82. I checked all the hours you billed your clients, and you have to be 82."
中文翻译
律师乔在45岁时突然去世。
他来到天堂门口，一位天使迎接他说：“我们已经等你很久了。”
“你什么意思？”乔回答，“我才45岁，正值壮年。为什么我现在就得死？”
“四十五岁？你不是45岁，你是82岁，”天使反驳道。
“等一下。如果你认为我82岁，那你找错人了。我才45岁。我可以给你看我的出生证明。”
“等等。我去查一下，”天使说完便消失在门内。
几分钟后，天使回来了。
“抱歉，但根据我们的记录，你是82岁。我核对了你向客户收取费用的所有工作时间，你肯定是82岁。”
