English Original
A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his dismay, there were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. But, to his surprise, St. Peter left his desk and came down the long line to where the lawyer stood. St. Peter greeted him warmly. Then, with an assistant, he guided the lawyer to the front of the line and into a comfortable chair by his desk.
The lawyer said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me so special?"
St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours for which you billed your clients, and by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!"

一位律师去世后,来到了天堂的珍珠门前。令他沮丧的是,有数千人排在他前面等待觐见圣彼得。然而,令他惊讶的是,圣彼得离开了门前的桌子,沿着长长的队伍走到律师站立的地方。圣彼得热情地向他打招呼。然后,圣彼得和一位助手牵着律师的手,将他领到队伍的最前面,并让他坐在桌旁一张舒适的椅子上。
律师说:“我不介意受到如此关注,但我有什么特别之处呢?”
圣彼得回答说:“嗯,我加总了你向客户收取费用的所有工时,根据我的计算,你肯定得有193岁左右了!”
