Taking It With You

As Mr Smith at the end of his life, he tried to formulate a plan that would allow him to at least some of the wealth fairly with him.

He called the three men believe the majority of lawyers, doctors, and spiritual. He told them: "I'm going every $ 30,000 in cash before I die. At my funeral, I want you to put money in a coffin, I could try to take with you."

All three agree and accept the money.

At the funeral, each approached the coffin and placed on the envelope back.

While sitting in a limousine to the funeral, the priest said: "I have to admit what you are. Brother Smith is good spiritual life, and I knew he wanted to do. The Church needed a new baptistery very badly, and I was $ 10,000 from the money he give and buy one. I'm only $ 20,000 in the coffin. "

The doctor then said, "Well, we entrust to one another, I can say that I did not put the entire $ 30,000 in the coffin. Smith diseases can be diagnosed earlier if I had a very new machine, but the machines cost $ 20,000 and I not able to later. I used $ 20,000 of the money to buy equipment, so I can save another patient. I know that Smith would want me to do. "

The lawyer then said: "I am ashamed of you both. When I cover it in a coffin, it held my personal check for the full $ 30,000.
