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 $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 that he had only put$20，000 into the envelope because he 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．”
