Well, if we must have some lawyer jokes (twist my arm someone, please! .... WJ, Redleg, I think I will owe you both a drink after this!)
An old lady, knowing her time is nearing an end, calls her three most trusted people to her, her priest, her doctor and her lawyer, and gives them each $50,000 in cash. She gives them strict instructions to put the cash in her coffin before she is buried, as she has decided to take it with her into the afterlife. Each solemnly agrees to carry out her rather bizarre wish.
Later, after her funeral, the three of them are talking. The priest says "I have a confession to make. I don't know about you, but I only put $20,000 in the coffin. You see, we had this appeal to build a shelter for homeless kids, and we were $30,000 short of our target. I thought it would be such a waste just to bury all that money and see the homeless continue to sleep in the street. So I put $30,000 into the appeal, and $20,000 in the coffin". The doctor days "Well, I am glad you said that. I only put $30,000 in the coffin. We had an appeal for some new equipment for the children's hospital, and we were $20,000 short. Like you, I felt it was a waste to bury all that cash and see the kids miss out on the equipment they need. So I put $20,000 into the appeal, and $30,000 in the coffin". The lawyer is very angry, and screams his disgust at the other two. "You solemnly swore to put the money into the coffin! You betrayed that fine old lady's trust! You two should be ashamed of yourselves! No short-changing from me --- I put in a cheque for the full $50,000!"
