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 pillow cases. He then directed her to take the bags of money to the
attic and leave them directly above his bed. His plan was that 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 pillow cases stuffed with cash. "Oh,
that darned old fool," she exclaimed. "I knew he should have had me put the
money in the basement."
