An old, rich man is sick and close to death. He's enjoyed his wealth and doesn't want to die, and decides that he's going to try to take some of his riches with him despite the old adage "You can't take it with you."
On his deathbed, he summons his minister, his doctor, and his lawyer. He explains his desires to the three men, and finally hands them each an envelope. He says "Each envelope contains $100,000 that I want to take with me. At my funeral, when you pay your last respects, I want each of you to toss the money into my casket."
After the services, the three men are sitting around at the wake. The doctor says "I'm feeling guilty. I kept only put half the money in his casket, I donated the rest to a clinic for poor kids who need medical treatment." The minister also confesses "I feel guilty too. I kept $10,000 out, and donated it to the orphanage."
The lawyer is stunned. He jumps up, and proclaims "You both should go to jail! The man's dying wish was for you to put the money in his casket!. You lied to him and stole from him! I, on the other hand, wrote a check for the full amount."
