A teacher, a dustman and a lawyer were waiting outside the pearly gates.
St Peter emerged and informed them that in order to get to heaven, they’d each have to answer one question. St Peter turned to the teacher.
“What was the name of the ship that crashed into the iceberg? They made a movie about it.”
The teacher answered quickly, “That would be Titanic.”
St Peter lets him through the gates. He then turns to the dustman and asks: “How many people died on the ship?”
Fortunately, the dustman had just seen the film. “1,228,” he answered.
“That’s right! You may enter.”
St Peter then turned to the lawyer. “Name them.”
