The lawyer is standing at the gate to Heaven and St Peter is listing his sins: 1) Defending a large corporation in a pollution suit where he knew they were guilty 2) Defending an obviously guilty murderer because the fee was high 3) Overcharging fees to many clients 4) Prosecuting an innocent woman because a scapegoat was needed in a controversial case The list goes on for quite a while The lawyer objects and begins to argue his case He admits all these things but argues Wait I have done some charity also in my life St Peter looks in his book and says Yes I see Once you gave a dime to a panhandler and once you gave an extra nickel to the shoeshine boy correct? The lawyer gets a smug look on his face and replies Yes St Peter turns to the angel next to him and says Give this guy 15 cents and tell him to go to hell
