Taking it With You
Posted by: JesterA wealthy old man by the name of Chet Bond was dying of a rare disease.
On his hospital bed he asked his wife to bring his priest, insurance rep and physician the next day.
He told them, “I have trusted all of you for many years and I’m going to give each of you $90,000 in an box to put in my casket so I can always have it with me.”
Mr. Bond soon passed away and at his wake the three men each placed their boxes in his casket.
While leaving the funeral the three were riding in a limo and the doctor confessed “I only left $60,000 in my box. I used the money to buy a new invention that will help me diagnose his rare disease and treat others. He would have wanted me to do it.”
The priest then sighed and said: “I only left $30,000 in my box. We needed that money to help more homeless, and Mr. Bond would have wanted me to do it.”
Angrily, the insurance agent then scolded the other two: “You two should be ashamed of yourselves for stealing from a dead guy. I cut Mr. Bond a check for the full $90,000!”
