The prominent middle-aged attorney was walking in the woods when he heard a booming voice from above say, 'You are going to live to be 100.'

That must be God speaking, the attorney thought. Immediately he began doing good deeds, figuring out that he now had ample time to make amends in order to enter Heaven.

But as he left the homeless shelter where he had just volunteered an hour of his services, he was hit by a bus and killed.

Coming face to face with God, the attorney protested, 'You promised me I was going to live to be 100. Instead, the very first day I did a good deed, I got hit by a bus and here I am. Why?' 'I didn't recognize you,' replied God.
