A man and his girlfriend died in a car accident and meets Peter at the Pearly Gates

Submitted by LordFarhaams t3_11pcw1k in Jokes

Peter says, "Welcome to Heaven, do you have any questions?"

To which the man replies, "Yes, my girlfriend and I never had a chance to get married while we were alive. Can we get married in Heaven?"

Peter says, "That's a good question, I will be back when I have the answer."

Left at the gates, the couple begins to talk about love and how long eternity is.

6 weeks later, Peter returns and says, "OK, I've found your answer. Yes, you can get married in Heaven. So come right in and enjoy eternity together."

The couple responds by saying, "We have another question. Eternity is a very long time and we are not sure if our relationship will last. If things don't work out, can we get a divorce in Heaven?"

To which Peter replies, "Jesus Christ! It took me 6 weeks to find a priest up here, do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?!"

A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven.

‟There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argues. ‟I am too young to die. I am only fifty five!”

‟Fifty five?” says Saint Peter. ‟No, according to our calculations, you are eighty two.”

‟How’d you get that?” the lawyer asks.

St. Peter says, ‟We added up your time sheets.”

I’ve somehow never heard this one! Here I was, thinking I’d heard all the lawyer jokes in existence.

My personal favourite is:

A man is being interviewed at a police station. A man leans forward and says "I'm not saying anything without my lawyer present". The police officer, confused, replies "but you are the lawyer" and the lawyer says "yeah...so where's my present?"

The lawyer’s getting paid for hours worked, but he’s recording way more hours on his timesheet than he actually worked. The lawyer’s seriously overcharging his clients - because the joke’s that lawyers suck

Rimmer: Kryten, you're forgetting Space Corp Directive 1742.

Kryten: 1742? No member of the Corp should report for duty in a ginger toupee?

Do you?.. do you tell it too? Or are you pretending you’ve heard it so often that you’ve labeled it 345. Which is assuming you have 344 other lawyer jokes off the top of your head.

whips out cigarette I don’t believe you.

My dad is a lawyer and I sometimes send him lawyer jokes. Unfortunately, after 40 years practicing law, he’s heard them all. Thank you for giving me one he hasn’t heard!!

Lol. Didn’t know they kept track of time in Heaven! Good to know. I wonder if they validate parking.

They keep track in a Jeremy Bearimy-sort of way. Time feels like it's passing for you, but it's not the same as time passing in the mortal plane.

Jesus Christ had twelve apostles. Saint Peter was not the brightest of the lot. If he had used his brain, he would have married the couple on the spot.

Actually as the first pope he would have known:

Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

He must have forgotten that since he went looking for a priest anyway.

The New Testament books were written between 70 and 300 years after Jesus was crucified and Peter was long dead. But who wants trivial details messing up the punchline of a good joke?

You say that like some sort of gotcha. As though the people who profess their faith don’t know that, by definition, faith in something can’t be proven. It doesn’t make them look stupid; it just makes you look like an asshole.

manualshifting t1_jbzuqyx wrote

I like this one! I think I'll tell it IRL at some point.

One small change that I would make, though. Right at the punch line, where Saint Peter says "Jesus Christ!" I think I'll change that to this.

Then Peter said, "Oh, for my sake! It took me six weeks to find a priest up in here. Do you know how long it will take to find a lawyer?"

MagentaKevin t1_jby8yy0 wrote

You're joking right? St Peter did everything right on earth, so much so that he was canonised and God repaid him by making him the only person in heaven to have a stressful, permanent, full-time job. I'd be cursing him every which way if I were him!!
