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 admission¹.
The teacher is first, and St. Peter asks, “Name the famous ship that was sunk by an iceberg²?” “Phew, that one's easy,” says the teacher, “The Titanic³.” “ 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.”
