Accountant in Heaven
An accountant dies and goes to Heaven. He reaches the pearly gates and is amazed to see a happy crowd all waving banners and chanting his name.
After a few minutes St. Peter comes running across and says:
- I'm sorry I wasn't here to greet you personally. God is looking forward to meeting such a remarkable man as yourself.
The accountant is perplexed.
- I've tried to lead a good life, but I am overwhelmed by your welcome - he tells St. Peter.
- It's the least we can do for someone as special as you are. Imagine, living to the age of 123 and still looking so young - says St. Peter.
The man looks even more dumbfounded and replies:
- 123 years old? I don't know what you mean. I'm only 40.
St. Peter replies:
- But that can't be right - we've seen your time sheets!
