As his last request on his death bed, the city miser asked
to be alone with his lawyer, doctor, and priest. He said, “I know I am going to
die. And I would like to take my money with me. So I am going to give each of you
$150,000 and I want you to each make sure the money gets in my coffin.”
It was a few days after the funeral when the priest over
flowing with guilt finally confided to the other two that he only put $100,000 in
the coffin. The doctor said, “I’m glad you brought it up, because I have also
been feeling guilty. I only put $80,000 in the coffin.” And the lawyer stormed,
“You people should be ashamed of yourselves, stealing money like that. Am I the
only honest person here?” Pulling out
his cheque book, he added, “Look, I wrote out a check for the full $150,000!”
