A consultant died at the ripe old age of 85 of natural causes and went to heaven. Despite a long line at the pearly gates, St. Peter came to greet him at the end of the line and took him by hand to the front of the line.
The consultant was clearly pleased, but asked surprisingly, "I like all this attention, but what have I done to deserve the special treatment?" St. Peter said, "To be honest, we have never had anyone come here who was 157 years old."
The consultant looked surprised. "There must be some mistake," he said, "I am only 85 years old." St. Peter reassured him, "Oh, there is no mistake at all. We added up all the hours from your timesheets!"
Consultants are not alone in this predicament.
