Lawyer's Death Bed

A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal

illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't

take it with you."

After much thought and consideration, the old ambulance

chaser finally figured out how to take at least some of his

money with him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to

the bank and withdraw enough money to fill two pillowcases.

He then directed her to take the bags of money to the attic

and leave them directly above his bed. His plan: When he

passed away, he would reach out and grab the bags on his way

to Heaven.

Several weeks after the funeral, the deceased lawyer's wife,

up in the attic cleaning came upon the two forgotten

pillowcases stuffed with cash. "Oh, that old fool," she

exclaimed. "I knew he should have had me put the money in the

basement."
