Saint Peter and Affirmative Action
In Heaven, the order for an affirmative action program was handed down. From on high it was decreed that everyone would have an equal opportunity to enter Heaven.
Saint Peter, being a traditionalist, did not approve. But he was also the ultimate company man, so he decided he would do his best to comply. His first challenge to use the new policy came the next day when a teacher, a garbage collector and a lawyer all arrive at the Pearly Gates.
Saint Peter announces they will have to pass a test to get in, and that each will have to answer one question.
To the teacher, he says, “What was the name of the ship that crashed into in an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage?
The teacher quickly replies, “That would have been the Titanic, right?”
Saint Peter lets him through the gate.
Saint Peter turns to the Garbage man, and despite the new policy, finds himself asking a harder question. “How many people died on the ship?”
The garbage man guesses,”1,228″
“That happens to be correct; go ahead.”
Saint Peter then turns to the lawyer, the new policy now completely forgotten. “Okay, name them.”
