A man spoke to each of his 3 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 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 onto the chest of the deceased.

 

Next, the financial planner placed $1,000 there in 20 crisp $50 bills.

 

Finally, it was the heartbroken 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.

 

The lawyer is now probably in your government.....
