"Methuselah" joke
A prominent young lawyer died on his way to court, and found himself before the gates of Heaven. When he arrived, a chorus of angels appeared, singing in his honor. St. Peter himself came out to shake his hand. “Mr Jones, ” said St. Peter, “it is a great honor to have you here at last.
You are the first being to break Methuselah’s record for longevity. You have lived 1028 years. ”"What are you talking about? ” asked the lawyer. “I’m 46. ”"46? But aren’t you Steven Jones? The lawyer from Brooklyn”"Yes, ” the lawyer answered. ”Let me check the records, ” said St Peter. He slapped his hand against his forehead. “Oh, how silly of us. Now I see the mistake! We accidentally calcluated your age by adding up the hours you billed to your clients! ”
