An elderly man, 82, just returned from the doctor\u2019s and learned he didn\u2019t have long to live.\n
He called together the three most important people in his life:\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just found out that I don\u2019t have much time left,\u201d he said.\n
\u201cI\u2019ve called you here because you\u2019re the most important people in my life, and I need to ask a favor. I\u2019m giving each of you an envelope with $50,000 inside. When I pass away, I\u2019d like you to throw the money into my grave.\u201d\n
After the man passed on, the three met up and discussed what they had done.\n
The doctor said,\n
\u201cI have to admit, I kept $10,000 to cover some unpaid medical bills, but I threw the remaining $40,000 into the grave as he asked.\u201d\n
The priest said,\n
\u201cI must confess, I kept $25,000 for the church, but I did put the other $25,000 into the grave.\u201d\n
The lawyer was shocked.\n
\u201cI\u2019m surprised at you two! I wrote a check for the full amount and threw it all in!\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
