"Overcrowded Heaven" joke

A teacher, a thief and a lawyer all die in the same freak accident. So when they reach the pearly gates, St. Peter tells them that, unfortunately, heaven is overcrowded, so they each have to answer a question correctly for admission.
The teacher is first, and St. Peter asks, “Name the famous ship that was sunk by an iceberg? ” “Phew, that one's easy, ” says the teacher, “The Titanic. ” “ Alright, ” said St. Peter, “you may pass. ”

Then the thief got his question: “How many died on the Titanic? ” The thief replied, “That's a toughy, but fortunately I just saw the movie. The answer is 1500 people. ” And so he passed through.

Last, St. Peter gave the lawyer his question: “Name them. ”
