You Can't Take it With You II
A lawyer is on his deathbed. He calls his three associates in and says "They say you can't take it with you but I plan to. In each of these cases is a million dollars in cash. Just after they lower my casket I want you to each throw it in with me. I know I can trust you...."
The attorney died a few days later and at the funeral, each associate attorney tossed his briefcase in the grave as instructed.
Leaving the funeral, one says to the other two, "I have to get this off my chest. I lost a lot in the market last year and I really needed the money. I took out half of the million dollars."
The second lawyer says, "Oh, God, me too. After my divorce I've been struggling to catch up. I only threw in $250,000."
The third attorney looks at the other two with a shocked expression. "I can't believe you two! I enclosed a check for the entire amount!"
