A famous lawyer died and, unexpectedly, showed up at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter came out to welcome him, and as the Gates opened the lawyer saw
a banner which welcomed him, the first 457-year old man. The lawyer was
confused. He said to St. Peter, "I don't understand. When I died, I was
63 years old, not 457." St. Peter was now confused, and said, "Why, you
must be 457 years old! We added up all the hours you billed your clients,
so you've got to be 457!"
