A banker friend of the deceased lawyer decides to try the trick for himself. He figures the problem was that fiat currency is banned in heaven.

He instructs his wife to sell everything he has and buy gold with it.

Eventually he dies, grabs the gold on his way up, and makes it into heaven. As he aproaches the pearly gates with his precious metal, St. Peter sees what he's carrying and turns around in excitement, shouting, "I finally found someone to fix the road for us!"
