A Stake in the Future |
A wealthy man, well up in years, who thinks he can take at least some of his hard-earned fortune with him when he dies. He gives $100,000 each to his doctor, priest and lawyer, and tells each of them to put the money in his casket at his funeral.
They all agree. Not long after, the man dies, and the doctor, priest and lawyer all visit the casket at the funeral home.
After the funeral, the three men are talking and the doctor confesses that he's kept $25,000 of the man's money for himself. The priest admits he did, too.
Then the lawyer exclaims, "You cheaters. I thought you put all of it in there, so I took out the cash and left him a check for $300,000."
