A teacher, a thief and a lawyer

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 thief went second: “How many died on the Titanic?”
