Jokes: Lawyer pays it fully

An old man was on his deathbed. He wanted badly to take all his money

with him. He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his

bedside.

"Here's $500,000 cash to be held by each of you. I trust you to put

this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money with me."

At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin. Riding away in

a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears and confessed that he

had only put $400,000 into the envelope because he needed $100,000 for

a new roof for his church.

"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, "I only

put $300,000 in the envelope because we needed a new machine at the

hospital which cost $200,000."

The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he exclaimed. "I

want it known that when I put my envelope in that coffin, it held my

personal check for the full $500,000."
