An Old Miser Had No Friends Nor Family. –

An old miser, due to his terrible cheapness, had no friends nor family.

Just before he died he called his doctor, his lawyer and a minister to come see him.

They complied and gathered together around his bed.

“I always heard you can’t take it with you, but I am going to prove you can,” he said.

“I have $90,000 cash hidden underneath my mattress. It’s in 3 envelopes of $30,000 each. I want each one of you to grab one envelope now and just before they throw the dirt on my grave, you throw the envelopes in.”

Weeks later, the three attended the funeral, and true to their word, each threw in their envelope into the grave.

On the way back from the cemetery, the minister said,

“I don’t feel so good about this, I am going to confess, I desperately needed $10,000 for a new church we are building, so I took out $10,000 and threw only $20,000 in the grave.”
The doctor said,

“I, too, must confess. I am building a clinic and took $20,000 and threw in only $10,000.” He looked ashamed.

The lawyer said,

“Gentlemen, I’m surprised, shocked and ashamed of both of you. I don’t see how you could in good conscience hold on to that money. I threw in a personal check for the ENTIRE amount.”
