"Old Lawyer" joke

Joe the lawyer died suddenly, at the age of 45. He got to the gates of Heaven, and the angel standing there said, "We`ve been waiting a long time for you." "What do you mean?" he replied. "I`m only 45, in the prime of my life. Why did I have to die now?" "45? You`re not 45, you`re 82," replied the angel. "Wait a minute. If you think I`m 82, then you have the wrong guy. I`m only 45. I can show you my birth certificate." "Hold on. Let me go check," said the angel and disappeared inside. After a few minutes the angel returned. "Sorry, but by our records you are 82. I checked all the hours you have billed your clients, and you have to be 82.
