Some people like to think they're gonna get to take it with them ... but watch out for the attorneyWell, here’s another short story about MONEY and an old man on his death bed, who thinks that his casket will have pockets and if not, his hearst will come with a bumper hitch with a u-haul in tow …

Anyway, this man wanted to be buried with his money.

So he called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his bedside. "Here's $100,000 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 of 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 only put $20,000 into the envelope because I needed $80,000 to repair the roof of the church."

"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, "I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new X-ray machine for the pediatrics ward at the hospital which cost $90,000."

The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he exclaimed. "I want it known that when I put my envelope in his coffin, I enclosed a check for the full $100,000."
