quite enough to get you into Heaven.
The Lawyer said, Wait Wait! Theres more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter.Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified.
Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?
Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter –
Give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell!
An elderly spinster called the lawyers office and told the
receptionist she wanted to see the lawyer about having a will
prepared.
The receptionist suggested they set up an appointment for a convenient time for the spinster to come into the office.
The woman replied, You must understand, Ive lived alone all my
life, I rarely see anyone, and I dont like to go out. Would it
be possible for the lawyer to come to my house?
The receptionist checked with the attorney who agreed and he went
to the spinsters home for the meeting to discuss her estate and
the will.
The lawyers first question was,
Would you please tell me what
you have in assets and how youd like them to be distributed
under your will?
She replied, Besides the furniture and accessories you see here,
I have $40,000 in my savings account at the bank.
Tell me, the lawyer asked, how would you like the $40,000 to
be distributed?
The spinster said, Well, as Ive told you, Ive lived a reclusive life, people have hardly ever noticed me, so Id like them to notice when I pass on. Id like to provide $35,000 for my funeral.
The lawyer remarked, Well, for $35,000 you will be able to have
a funeral that will certainly be noticed and will leave a lasting
impression on anyone who may not have taken much note of you!
But tell me, he continued, what would you like to do with the
remaining $5,000?
The spinster replied, As you know, Ive never married, Ive lived alone almost my entire life, and in fact Ive never slept with a man. Id like you to use the $5,000 to arrange for a man to sleep with me.
This is a very unusual request, the lawyer said, adding, but
Ill see what I can do to arrange it and get back to you.
That evening, the lawyer was at home telling his wife about the
eccentric spinster and her weird request. After thinking about
how much she could do around the house with $5,000, and with a
bit of coaxing, she got her husband to agree to provide the service himself.
She said, Ill drive you over tomorrow morning, and wait in the car until youre finished.
The next morning, she drove him to the spinsters house and waited while he went into the house. She waited for over an hour, but her husband didnt come out. So she blew the car horn.
Shortly, the upstairs bedroom window opened, the lawyer stuck his
head out and yelled, Pick me up tomorrow, shes going to let the
County bury her!
