An old Texas banker was on his death-bed. As his last request he asked to be alone with his lawyer, doctor, and priest.
“I know I am going to die” he said ”and I sure don’t want to leave my money to my no-account relatives. So, I’ve thought a lot about it and I’m going take it with me. Here’s how. I’m gonna divide up my money. Give each of you $150,000. Then, when I’m dead, I want y’all put sneak into the mortuary and put it in the coffin with me so I’ll be buried with it.”
A few days after the funeral the priest, over-flowing with guilt, confided to the other two that he only put $100,000 in the old bankers coffin.
“I’m glad you brought it up” said the doctor shifting around, “because I too have been feeling guilty. I only put $80,000 back.”
“You people should be ashamed of yourselves,” stormed the lawyer. “Stealing money like that. Am I the only honest person here?”
Then, he whipped out his checkbook and flashed it in their face. “Look here, I wrote out a check for the entire $150,000.”
Yep… It’s Another Classic
