An old man was on his death bed. He wanted badly to take some of
his money with him. He called his priest, his doctor and his
lawyer to his bedside. "Here's $30,000 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, "I had only put $20,000 into the envelope because I
needed $10,000 for a new baptistery."

"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, "I
only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new machine
at the hospital which cost $20,000."

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 $30,000."
