A man spoke to each of his three sons when he sent them to college: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a gesture of appreciation, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die."
And so, it happened. His sons became a doctor, a financial planner and a lawyer, each very successful financially. When their father died and they saw him in the coffin, they remembered his wish. First, the doctor stacked 10 crisp $100 bills on to the chest of their deceased father. Next, the financial planner placed $1,000 there in 20 crisp $50 bills. Finally, it was Ralphie, the lawyer's turn. He slowly reached into his pocket, removed his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash. Ralphie is now a successful politician who can not only pick pockets but coffins as well. 😎
