Lawyers Work Hours

Joe the lawyer died suddenly, at the age of 45. He got to the gates of Heaven, and the angel standing there said, 'We've been waiting a long time for you.'

'What do you mean,' he replied, 'I'm only 45, in the prime of my life. Why did I have to die now?'

'45? You're not 45, you're 82,' replied the angel.

'Wait a minute. If you think I'm 82 then you have the wrong guy. I'm only 45. I can show you my birth certificate.'

'Hold on. Let me go check,' said the angel and disappeared inside.

After a few minutes the angel returned. 'Sorry, but by our records you *are* 82. I checked all the hours you have billed your clients, and you have to be 82...'
