A $1 million last wish
An elderly gentleman, quite well to do, realized that his life was turning
down the final stretch, so he summoned the three friends that he trusted the
most for some advice: a doctor, a priest, and an attorney. "I've been
thinking lately," he said to them, "that perhaps there is something to the
ancient Egyptian belief that when we die, we take some things with us to the
next world. So, I'm giving each of you an envelope with $1 million in it. At
my funeral, I ask each of you to slip it into my casket so that I can use it
on my journey to the next world." The three agreed. A few weeks later, he
was dead. At the funeral, each of the three went up to the casket, and each
placed an envelope into the casket. Afterwards, the three were talking, and
the doctor couldn't keep it in any longer. "I have a confession," he said.
"This year has been quite bad for the clinic. My CAT scan machine broke, and
I had to scrape to replace it. I took $80,000 out of the envelope to pay for
it." As the other two cringed, the priest then added, "I must confess, too.
The poor have been especially bad this year, and to provide them with food,
I took $120,000 out and used it to feed and clothe them." The attorney was
beside himself. "I am disgusted. Our friend asked but one thing of each of
us, and trusted us with his last request. How could you two break that trust
and go against his wishes?" The doctor replies, "You expect us to believe
that you, an attorney, didn't take anything out of your envelope?" "I would
never!" replied the attorney. "In that envelope was a personal check for the
FULL amount!"
