An old man was on his death bed. He wanted badly to take some of his money with him. He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his bedside. Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you. I trust you to put this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money with me.
At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin. Riding away in
a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears and confessed, "I had
only put $20,000 into the envelope because I needed $10,000 for a new
baptistery."
"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said
the doctor, "I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new
machine at the hospital which cost $20,000."
The lawyer was
aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he exclaimed. "I want it known
that when I put my envelope in that coffin, it held my personal check
for the full $30,000."
