Old Lawyer

"Old Lawyer"

A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his
dismay, there were thousands of people ahead of
him in line to see St. Peter.

To his surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate
and came down the long line to where the lawyer
was, and greeted him warmly.

Then St. Peter and one of his assistants took the
lawyer by the hands and guided him up to the front
of the line, and into a comfortable chair by his desk.

The lawyer said, “I don't mind all this attention, but
what makes me so special?” St. Peter replied, “Well,
I've added up all the hours for which you billed your
clients, and by my calculation you must be about
193 years old!”

"Dying Man"

An elderly man, 82, just returned from the doctors
only to find he didn't have long to live. So he
summoned the three most important people in
his life to tell them of his fate.

1. His Doctor
2. His Priest
3. His Lawyer

Well, today I found out I don't have long to live. So
I have summoned you three here, because you are
the most important people in my life, and I need to
ask a favor.

Today, I am going to give each of you an envelope with
$50,000 dollars inside. When I die, I would ask that all
three of you throw the money into my grave.

After the man passed on, the 3 people happened to run
into each other.

The doctor said, "I have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars
of his money, he owed me on lots of medical bills.
But, I threw the other $40,000 in like he requested."

The Priest said, "I have to admit also, I kept $25,000
dollars for the church. It's all going to a good cause.
I did, however, throw the other $25,000 in the grave."

Well the Lawyer just couldn't believe what he was hearing!
"I am surprised at you two taking advantage of him like that."
"I wrote a check for the full amount and threw it all in!"
