70. A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his
bed side and handed each of them an envelop containing
$25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his
death and during his repose, they would place the three
envelops in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have
enough money to enjoy the next life.
A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and
Doctor and Clergyman, each concealed an envelop in the
coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell.
By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the
Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying
that there was only $10,000 in the envelop he placed in the
coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would
send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their
forgiveness. The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergymans
sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money
for a worthy medical charity. The envelop, he admitted, had
only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to
waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to
benefit others. By this time the Lawyer was seething with
self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep
disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his
oldest and most trusted friends. I am the only one who kept
his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know
that the envelop I placed in the coffin contained the full
amount. Indeed, my envelop contained my personal check for
the entire $25,000.

A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living.
"Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do all day?" Tim stood up
and proudly said, "She's a doctor."
Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman." "Thank
you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father, Billy?" Billy proudly stood
up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."

that to a seven-year-old?"

of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. To his surprise, St. Peter left
his desk at the gate and came down the long line to where the laywer was, and
greeted him warmly. Then St. Peter and one of his assis-tants took the lawyer by
the hands and guided him up to the front of the line, and into a comfortable chair
by his desk. The lawyer said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me
so special?"
St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours for which you billed your
clients, and by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!"
