One Last Business Deal
A wealthy old businessman was on his deathbed. He called for his priest, his lawyer, and his accountant.
“They say you can’t take it with you,” he whispered, “but I’m going to try. When they bury me, I want each of you to put a third of my money into the grave. Promise me!”
The three nodded, though not happily.
A few days later, the funeral came. Sure enough, each man walked up and tossed a bag into the grave.
Afterward, as they headed to their cars, the priest sighed. “I must confess—I couldn’t do it. I kept some of that money to help the orphanage.”
The lawyer spoke up. “Well… since we’re being honest, I held a little back too. I’ve been dreaming of a place by the beach.”
The accountant looked at them in disgust. “Shame on both of you! I’ll have you know I threw in a check for the full amount!”
