Take Money To The Afterlife

Take Money To The Afterlife

As Mr

Smith was on his death bed, he attempted to formulate a plan that would allow him to take at least some of his considerable wealth with him.

He called for the three men he trusted most, his lawyer, his doctor, and his clergyman.

Mr

Smith told them, “I'm going to give you each $30,000 in cash before I die.

At my funeral, I want you each to place the money in my coffin so that try to take it with me.”

All three agreed to do this and were given the money.

At the funeral, each approached the coffin in turn and placed an envelope inside.

While riding in the limousine back from the cemetery, the clergyman said, “I have to confess something to you fellows.

Brother Smith was a good churchman all his life, and I know he would have wanted me to do this.

The church needed a new baptistery very badly, and I took $10,000 of the month he gave me and bought one

I only put $20,000 in the coffin.”

The doctor then said, “Well, since we're confiding in one another, I might as well tell you that I didn't put the full $30,000 in the coffin either.

Smith had a disease that could have been diagnosed sooner if I had this very new machine, but the machine cost $20,000 and I couldn't afford it then.

I used $20,000 of the money he gave to buy the machine so that I might be able to save another patient

I know that Smith would have wanted me to do that.”

The lawyer then said, “I;m ashamed of both of you

When I put my envelope into that coffin, it held my personal cheque for the full $30,000.”
