Therefore, as an individual in the legal profession, here are some benefits that may apply to you.

A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argues. “I’m too young to die. I’m only 55.”
“Fifty-five?” says Saint Peter. “No, according to our calculations, you’re 82.”
“How’d you get that?” the lawyer asks.
St Peter replies: “We added up your timesheets!”
