Rants and Raves

[teapeebubbles]

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 pillowcases. 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 had gone up in the attic to clean. Coming upon the
two forgotten pillowcases stuffed with cash she exclaimed,
"Oh, that darned old fool, I knew he should have had me
put the money in the basement."
