I want to take money with me
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. He told them, "I'm going to give you each
$30,000 in cash before I die. At my funeral, I want you to place the
money in my coffin so that I can 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 money he gave me and bought one. I only put $20,000 in the
coffin."
The physician 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 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 check for the full
$30,000."
