An old man was
on his death bed. He wanted badly to take some of his money
with him.
He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his
bedside.
"Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you.
I trust you to put this in my coffin when I die so I can
take all my money with me."
At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin.
Riding away in a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into
tears and confessed, "I had only put $20,000 into the
envelope because I needed $10,000 for a new baptistery."
"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the
doctor,
"I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new
machine at the hospital which cost $20,000."
The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he
exclaimed.
"I want it known that when I put my envelope in that coffin,
it held my personal check for the full $30,000." |
