This millionaire finds out that he is dying and has only a month to live. He calls in his three most trusted advisors, his lawyer, his preacher, and his doctor. He tells each that he has decided to take his money with him when he dies. He gives them each $30 million dollars in cash of his $100 million dollar fortune and tells them that he is going to blow the last $10 million in the last month of his life.
A month passes, and sure enough, the millionaire dies. At his funeral, the preacher comes in and places a large leather bag in the coffin with the old man. Several minutes later, the doctor comes in and does the same. He sits down on the front row with the preacher. After several more minutes, the lawyer comes in and places his bag in the coffin. He joins the others on the front row.
After a few minutes of reverent silence, the preacher leans over to the other two and says, "I have a confession to make. I couldn't bear the thought of sending all that money into the ground with the old man. I kept out $10 million to build a new day care wing on the church."
After a few minutes, the doctor whispers to the other two, "I have to confess as well, I kept out $10 million to build a new cancer research wing at the hospital."
After a few awkward moments, they both look at the lawyer. The lawyer looks surprised at them and says, "I can't believe you two thieves! After he trusted us to follow his wishes! I'll have you both know that I wrote him a check for the entire $30 million!"
