An old penny pincher had no friends Just before he died he asked his doctor lawyer and pastor to gather around him at bedside I have always heard that you can t take it with you But I want to disprove that theory he said I have 90 000 under my mattress and when I die just before they throw the dirt on me at my burial I want you each to toss in an envelope with 30 000 within The three attended the funeral and each threw his envelope in the grave On the way back from the cemetery the pastor said I must confess I needed 10 000 for my new church so I only threw in 20 000 The doctor then said I must confess too I needed 20 000 for a new hospital I was opening up so I only threw in 10 000 The lawyer looked at them both and shook his head He then said Gentlemen I m surprised shocked and ashamed of you I don t see how you could dare to go against that man s final wish I mean I threw in my personal check for the full amount
