To all my lawyer friends I apologize, but this is funny: A wealthy man dies, in the prime of his life, and wants to take his fortune - almost a million dollars - with him into the afterlife. But he doesnt trust the undertakers. So he leaves instructions in his will that his three best friends - a priest, a doctor, and a lawyer - are to each put one-third of his money into plain paper bags, and then place the bags into his grave with him when hes buried. The service is touching, the eulogy is moving; the three friends each perform their task, the grave is filled, and finally, all the other mourners leave. Just the three friends remain. The priest looks around, then admits to the other two I must confess, I feel a bit guilty. When I saw all that cash, I kept back $20,000 for a new roof on the orphanage. The doctor says Thats a relief. I kept $50,000 of the cash for a new x-ray machine for the hospital. The lawyer shakes his head. Im disappointed in both of you, failing to fulfill our old friends last wishes. I put in a check for the full amount.
