One day, a teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer all died and went to Heaven.

St. Peter was having a
bad day since heaven was getting crowded. When they got to the gate, St. Peter informed them that there would be a test to get into Heaven and each will have to answer a single question.

To the teacher, he said, What was the name of the ship that crashed into the Iceberg and sunk with almost all of its passengers?

The teacher thought for a second, and replied: That would have been the Titanic, right?. And St. Peter let him through the gate.

St. Peter turned to the Garbage man, and, figuring that Heaven didnt REALLY need all the stink that this guy would bring into heaven, uncharitably decided to make the question a little harder: How many people died on the ship?

The garbage man guessed. 1228.

That happens to be correct, go ahead.

St. Peter turned to the Lawyer: Name them.
